Présentation de l'éditeur:
Some months ago the Jewish world celebrated the eight hundredth anniversary of the aeath of Bashi who died at Troyes in 1105. On that occasion those whose knowledge authorizes them to speak gave eloquent accounts of his life and work. Science and devotion availed themselves of every possible medium lectures and books journals and reviews to set forth all we owe to the illustrious Eabbi. The writer ventures to express the hope that in the present volume he has made at least a slight contribution toward discharging the common debt of the Jewish nation that it is not utterly unworthy of him whose name it bears. This volume, however, is not a product of circumstances; it was not written on the occasion of the centenary celebration. It was designed to form one of the series of the biographies of Jewish Worthies planned by the Jewish Publication Society op A merica, the first issue of which was devoted toM aimonides. The biography of Bashi is the second of the series. It is not for the author to endorse the order adopted, but he hazards the opinion that the readers will find the portrait of Bashi no unfitting companion-piece even to that of the author of theM oreh. Jewish history may include minds more brilliant and works more original than Bashi
