Detailed
Description		    Only edition of this ethical and inspirational work by R. Simhah Fano. The title page states that it is the work of Simhah Fano, “to build and to plant” (Jeremiah 1:10, 18:9, 31:27) in the hearts of the children of Israel ethics and awe of Heaven. It is dated with the verse, “Blessed shall you be when you come in” (Deuteronomy 28:6). There is an introduction from the author, in which he notes that the word simhah is a notrikon for Talmudei Hakhamim marbeh shalom. Simhah le-Ish has approbations from R. Mordecai Samuel ben Zion Gerondi of Padua, R. Shabbetai Elkhanan ben Ezekiel Jehiel Hayyim Tries of Trieste, and R. Samuel David Luzzato (Shadal). Another introduction follows, in which R. Fano concludes that this work is some of the cautionary counsel that he gives to the children the Lord has put under his care. He said to himself tto make a small book of it, entitling it Simhah le-Ish. Even if one hundred mock him over it there is no true loss for him if one young person benefits from it and that will be his reward. The text follows, in a single column in rabbinic type, divided into twenty three chapters.
