EXCEPTIONALLY RARE EDITIO PRINCEPS OF ABRABANEL'S COMMENTARY TO LATER PROPHETS. Primarily a philosophical, theological, ethical and to some extent historical commentary, Abrabanel’s method as an exegete is entirely novel, prefacing each section of each Book with a number of questions and then interpreting that section in such a manner as to gradually resolve them. The preface includes Abrabanel’s account of his life in Spain and the subsequent Expulsion.
