Rabbi Isaac ben Moses Arama lived in Spain from 1420 until the expulsion of the Jews in 1492, whereupon he moved to Naples, where he remained until his death in 1494. The Akeydat Yitzchak, the best known of his works, is written in the form of philosophical homilies and allegorical commentaries on the Pentateuch. Published in Salonika in 1522, each of its 105 chapters forms a complete sermon divided into two parts: drishah, “investigation,” and prishah, “exposition.” Two-volume boxed set.
