- Authors
DI GIULIO, MARCO
- Abstract
An essay is presented that discusses the attempts of scholar Samuel David Luzzatto to assert the role of Jewish rather than Christian scholars in the study of the Hebrew language and literature. Topics include his 1836 book "Prolegomeni ad una grammatica ragionata della lingua ebraica," Luzzatto's views on the relation between the Arabic and Hebrew languages, and the start of Semitics (the study of Semitic languages) as an academic discipline in light of Jewish national and religious identity.
