The English introduction includes a biography of the author and an analysis of the work.
Leone Ebreo (circa 1460-1530) probably wrote these meditations about 1500 in Genoa.
Judah Abrabanel [Abravanel], also known as Leone Ebreo, was the son of Isaac Ben Judah, (Don Isaac Abarbanel) with whom he fled to Italy from Spain in 1492 as a young man. His fame rests on the Dialoghi di amore, first published in Rome in 1535. According to the EJ the work was composed in Italian and a Hebrew translation was made after 1660 by Joseph Baruch of Urbino.
Following Plato’s example, the work is in the form of three dialogues, and treats the Renaissance theme of love as the dominating force and the loftiest goal of the universe. It is an attempt to reconcile Jewish and Greek philosophical concepts.
Scarce copy.
The Hebrew version of this work is also available. Please inquire if interested.

Shipping and Payment Information
Shipping :
DOMESTIC
Domestic Media Mail shipping, including Delivery Confirmation and Insurance, is standard. This applies to any address in the US and Puerto Rico, as well as to APO addresses.
Media Mail, available only for domestic shipping, is trucked to its destination, and shipped by boat to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, On the average it takes 3 to 10 days to arrive, depending on the distance and the vagaries of the US Postal Service.
Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, APO and other off-shore addresses take longer to arrive.
During the pre-Christmas season, Media Mail is subject to delays.
When filling out the Ebay Detailed Seller Ratings, please keep in mind that the sometime slow arrival is due to the performance of the Postal Service and not to any tardiness on the part of the seller.
For expedited domestic mailing, Priority Mail shipping can be arranged at an additional cost. For most books, we charge between two and nine dollars for this service, including delivery confirmation and insurance.
For heavy sets or high-value books, the charge may be higher.
INTERNATIONAL
For international shipping, we urge bidders to request quotes of shipping costs before bidding.
We will also specify international shipping options and prices after the conclusion of the auction. We will try to provide a range of options but buyers should be aware that all shipments are via air mail and shipping of heavy books can be expensive.
COMBINED SHIPPING
For international transactions, combined shipping of multiple lots can substantially reduce postage. This is especially the case for M-Bag shipments of up to 11 lbs and for multiple volumes that will fit into a single Priority Mail flat rate box. For the above options, the postage rate is fixed independently of the weight.
INSURANCE
All of our domestic shipments are fully insured.

As of October 2008, Ebay is imposing the requirement that all payments be made via Paypal. We understand that this requirement may
be a problem to some of our customers and we will do our best to accommodate their needs.
