Detail Description

Erudite work on Talmudic aggadah by the renowned Italian scholar David Castelli. Legende Talmudiche has a subtitle Saggio di Traduzione dal Testo Originale, informing that it is translated from the original text, and that the work has a critical original prefix by Castelli. The prefix is actually a detailed eleven chapter work, followed by thirty-nine chapters of, on the actual text, and then eight additional parts, so that there are nine detailed parts dealing with the  aggadic text. This is a pristine copy, several of the contents pages having never been separated.

David Castelli was a prolific Italian scholar; born at Leghorn, Tuscany, Dec. 30, 1836; died 1901. He was educated at the rabbinical college of Leghorn, and from 1857 to 1863 was teacher of Hebrew and Italian in the Jewish schools of that city; then he became secretary of the Jewish congregation in Pisa, where at the same time he was a private teacher. From Jan., 1876, until his death he occupied the chair of Hebrew at the Istituto di Studi Superiori Pratici e di Perfezionamento in Florence.
