Detailed
Description		    Hebrew-Italian grammar book by Emanuele Recanati (Menahem; 1796–1864), the son of Jacob Hayyim, physician in Verona. He also wrote Dizionario Ebraico-Caldaico ed Italiano e Italiano ed Ebraico (2 vols., Verona, 1854–56). The Italian Recanati family was originally from Spain and produced scholars, physicians, merchants, and financiers. The name derives from the town of Recanati. The family rose into special prominence in the 17th century, but earlier members of the family are R. Menahem Recanati in the 13th century and R. Jedidiah in the 16th century who translated Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed into Italian, under the title Erudizione dei Confusi, which he dedicated to R. Menahem Azariah da Fano.
