Overview

Abraham Ben Meir Ibn Ezra was considered a distinguished writer of the Middle Ages, examining poetry, linguistics, philosophy, and Hebrew Scripture. His wide travels and extensive studies afforded him a unique intellectual perspective, and his commentaries remain well respected. Offering translation and exposition on Ibn Ezra’s work, theologian and Jewish historian M. Friedländer moves verse-by-verse through Isaiah.

Friedländer explores the principles, character, and prophecies embodied in the text. Volume 1 offers Ibn Ezra’s commentary on Isaiah, edited from the original Hebrew biblical text, while volume 2 is a translation based on the Anglican Version of the Bible, edited according to Ibn Ezra’a commentary. Changes in the text are denoted by italics. The final volume provides Friedländer’s edited translation of the original text from Ibn Ezra, as well as an extensive glossary with annotative notes.
