Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Moshe Chaim Luzzatto (Hebrew: ¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿, also Moses Chaim, Moses Hayyim, also Luzzato) (1707-1746 (26 Iyar 5506)), also known by the Hebrew acronym RaMCHaL (or RaMHaL, ¿¿¿"¿), was a prominent Italian Jewish rabbi, kabbalist, and philosopher. Born in Padua at night, he received classical Jewish and Italian educations, showing a predilection for literature at a very early age. He may have attended the University of Padua and certainly associated with a group of students there, known to dabble in mysticism and alchemy. With his vast knowledge in religious lore, the arts, and science, he quickly became the dominant figure in that group. His writings demonstrate mastery of the Tanakh, the Talmud, and the rabbinical commentaries and codes of Jewish law.
