2 unusual facts about Nathan ben Jehiel


Nathan ben Jehiel

Early in the seventeenth century Menahem Lonzano issued his small but useful supplement, Ma'arik, concerned particularly with foreign words (in Shete Yadot, Venice, 1618; newly edited by Jellinek, Leipzig, 1853).

Aside from the Aruk of Tzemach ben Paltzoi (Ẓemaḥ b. Palṭoi), which he utilized (it should be stated, however, that Rapoport and Geiger deny this), he used a very large number of additional works.
