CLASSICS. Ma’areches Ha’Elokus. Kabbalah. Mantua 1558
Fundamental sefer on the principles of faith, Kabolah and Jewish philosophy, attributed to R. Peretz Ben Yitzchak of Gironde, with the commentary of R. Yehuda Chait titled Minchas Yehuda.
This edition was printed four months after the first edition was printed in Ferrara. The difference between the editions is the additional commentary which was printed anonymously in the first edition under the name “Peirush” i.e. commentary. In this edition, many sections of that commentary based on Greek philosophy were omitted, and many sections of explanations by other authors were added. The proofreader of this edition, R. Emanuel Benevento hints to this in his introduction, “You will not see (in this edition) the opinions of Aristotle and his disciples or quotes from Gentiles”.
