Luzzatto, Samuel David

▪ Italian-Jewish scholar
also called  by acronym Shedal  
born Aug. 22, 1800, Trieste [Italy]
died Sept. 30, 1865, Padua

      Jewish writer and scholar.

      In his writings, which are in Hebrew and Italian, Luzzatto presents an emotional and antiphilosophical concept of Judaism, and his Hebrew poetry is also pervaded by national spirit. His chief merit as a scholar lies in biblical exegesis, Hebrew philology, and the history of Hebrew literature. His extensive correspondence in Hebrew was published in 1882–94 and in other languages in 1890. His autobiography in Italian appeared in 1882.
