Jacob Lombroso: «Italian rabbi and physician, of Spanish origin; lived at the beginning of the seventeenth century in Venice, where he published a notable Bible having an exhaustive introduction and explanations together with Spanish translations of the more difficult passages. By some he is considered to be the author of the ‘Propugnaculum Judaismi,’ written in defense of Judaism against the attacks in the fifth book of Grotius’ ‘De Veritate Religionis Christianae.’ Mortara, however (‘Indice,’ p. 35), observes that Lombroso himself ascribes this work to Isaac Orobio» (da Isidore Singer – Eude Lolli – Solomon Schechter – M.
