Sefer Nitzachon. Anti Christian Polemic. First Edition. Altdorf 1644 - Anti-Cristian polemic by R. Yom Tov Lipmann Muelhausen. Includes Teshuvos HaRDaK L’Notzrim, by R. Dovid Kimchi (RaDaK). A defense of Rabbinic Judaism and an attack upon Christianity and Karaism. The intent of Sefer Nitzachon was to serve as an instruction to the ordinary Jew as to how to respond if confronted by Christians seeking to prove the veracity of their religion over Judaism. Following the Biblical order, R. Muelhausen here refutes the Christian interpretations of the Bible and the doctrines derived from them, and in so doing, provides many exegetic insights. His method is to expose the Christian lack of understanding of Hebrew sources with their linguistic and contextual associations. Hebrew and Latin. Vinograd Altdorf 1. [16], 512, 24 pages. 19 cm. Very fine condition. Title page detached. Antique binding. Opening bid $650
