The title, Exiles of Yehudah<\/em>, Jeremiah 24:5, 28:4, 29:22), can be understood as a personal statement, referring to when Modena resided in Ferrara and Florence, at which time he began to work on this book, or as referring to the general Jewish condition, a people in exile, a situation that has caused them, as he observes in the introduction, to forget the Hebrew language.<\/p>\n

Both Howard Adelman and Mark Cohen suggest that among Modena\u2019s intentions in writing Galut Yehudah<\/em>, was an attempt to overcome the Church prohibition against translating the Bible into Italian.<\/p>\n

The first edition, originally sold at three lire, was later priced at ten lire because no copies remained. It was, as a result, republished, this time sponsored by Joseph Foa. Modena observed in his diary that Foa was not particularly wealthy and he had to go to Padua to supervise the completion of the work, remaining there for eight days.<\/p>\n

The title page has Hebrew text and below it, Italian text. The Hebrew text states that Galut Yehudah<\/em> is \u201cthe meaning of words\u201d (Ecclesiastes 8:1) that require explanation throughout the Bible, Birkhat ha-Mazon (grace after meals), the Pesach Haggadah, and Pirkei Avot in Italian…: In it are many grammatical rules that make it easy to learn the meanings\u2026 Modena goes on to explain and justify his efforts, followed by a lengthier Italian introduction (L\u2019autore all benigni lettori) and basic rules of grammar (Breve Regolette di Grammatica per l\u2019interpretar corretto).<\/p>\n

The text of Galut Yehudah<\/em> follows the order of the Bible and concludes with the Pesach Haggadah and Pirkei Avot. Also included are portions of prayers, concluding with bilingual translation of terms. The Galut Yehudah has a supplement entitled Pi Aryeh<\/em> (Raccolta delle voci rabbiche non Ebraiche ne Caldee in tutto). The title is taken from \u201cSave me from the lion\u2019s mouth (mi-pi Aryeh); for you have answered me from the horns of the wild oxen\u201d (Ps. 22:22) and refers to Modena\u2019s name, Judah Aryeh. The supplement was printed in Venice and not in Padua.<\/p>\n[\/aesop_content]\n[aesop_gallery id=”1654″ revealfx=”off”]\n[aesop_content color=”#333333″ background=”#ffffff” columns=”1″ position=”none” imgrepeat=”no-repeat” floaterposition=”left” floaterdirection=”up” revealfx=”off”]Reference: Marvin J.
