Description
   R. Solomon David b. David Solomon Sassoon has here collected the commentary of R. Abraham b. Moses’s commentary on Genesis and Exodus, from a Bodleian manuscript. This has been published for the first time in its entirety from a manuscript (Oxford no. HUNT 166). It contains a facsimile of a page of the manuscript . The frontispiece is a color copy of a drawing from page 73 of Tanakh Bet Pirhei (Sassoon manuscript no. 368).

R. Solomon David Sassoon (1915–1985), son of David Solomon and Selina Sassoon, was ordained as a rabbi in 1936. He lived in Letchworth outside London until 1970 when he settled in Jerusalem. He inherited his father's valuable collection of Hebrew manuscripts and increased the total collection to 1,350 items. He retained his father's scholarly tastes and published Moshav Zekenim (1959), a commentary of the tosafists on the Pentateuch from a manuscript in his collection; Abraham b. Maimon’s commentary on Genesis and Exodus, from a Bodleian manuscript (1965); and an elegant facsimile edition of the Mishnah commentary of Maimonides (3 vols., 1956–66), with an introduction, from manuscripts in his collection and in Oxford, which are claimed to be autographs of Maimonides. He wrote a Critical Study of Electrical Stunning and the Jewish Method of Slaughter (1955) and The Spiritual Heritage of the Sephardim (1957).
