Description
First edition of this monograph on modern Jewish thought by Yoseph Colombo. The title, Concezioni ebraiche e teorie moderne, states that it is concepts and theories in modern Jewish thought. The author, Yoseph Colombo (1897–1975) was an Italian educator. Colombo was born in Leghorn, the son of Samuel *Colombo; he studied philosophy and pedagogy at the University of Pisa and taught history and philosophy in high schools. He was one of the founders of the Hebrew High School of Milan and its head from 1938 to 1945, when governmental schools were closed to Jews. He taught Hebrew language and literature at the University of Milan and began editing Rassegna Mensile di Israel in 1965. Colombo contributed to Italian encyclopedias as well as to Italian-Jewish periodicals and Festschriften. Among his other published works, in addition to Concezioni ebraiche e teorie moderne, are Problema della Scuola Ebraica in Italia (1925); an Italian translation of and commentary to Avot (last reprinted, 1996), the prefaces to E. Benamozegh's selected writings, Scritti Scelti (1955), and his work on the immortality of the soul in the Pentateuch (1969).
