Description		    On the sources of idol worship mentioned throughout the Bible by R. Graziadio Vita Anania Coen. It is also on the abomination of the sacrificing, burning incense, pouring out libations, and prostrating to them. Also addressed are the names of the idols, their meaning, and forms of worship, arranged alphabetically. R. Graziadio Vita Anania Coen was an Italian, rabbi and scholar. He was born at Reggio nell' Emilia about 1750: died March 28, 1834. He studied under R. Sansone Nahmani and R. Isaiah Vita Carmi. He established in his native city a school that produced several rabbis, among whom D. J. Maroni deserves special mention. Coen preached not only at Reggio nell' Emilia, but also in the neighboring communities. In 1825 he was called as chief rabbi to Florence, where he founded a Hebrew printing-press. R. Coen’s other works include: Hinnuk la-Na'ar" (Instruction for the Boy), 2 vols., Reggio, 1804; Venice, 1805; 6th ed., Leghorn, 1880; "Likkute Messektot"; "Sha'are ha-Talmud" (Doors of the Talmud), Reggio, 1811, a collection of treatises; "Reshit Lkḳah" (Beginning of Doctrine), Reggio, 1809, a handbook of elementary instruction in Hebrew and Italian; a Hebrew-Italian dictionary, entitled "Ma'aneh ha-Lashon" (Answer of the Tongue), ib. 1812; a Hebrew grammar, "Dikduk Leshon ha-Kodesh," Venice, 1808; "Shebile Emunah" (Ways of Faith), another pedagogical work; "Zemirot Yisrael" (Songs of Israel), Leghorn, 1793; "Ruah Hadashah" (The New Spirit), Reggio, 1822; "Saggio di Eloquenza Sacra del Dott.
