Description
Poems, based on the Hebrew Psalms, written by Abraham ben Shabbetai, born in 1670 in Crete, when the island was ruled by Venice. Like many fellow Jews, he studied medicine at the University of Padua. As a Renaissance man, he was not only a physician, but also an artist, poet and philosopher. His portrait on the title page, as well as the engraving illustrating the 5th day of the Creation, are believed to have been made by him.
