" . . . a lyrical, ethical monograph on the theme of the futility and vanity of this world, and the inestimably greater benefits of intellectual and religious pursuits. Behinat Olam, written in florid prose and rich in imagery, combines philosophic doctrine and religious fervor with a good measure of asceticism and pessimism" (EJ). The volume offered here forms part of the 1546 Bomberg/Adelkind edition of Solomon ibn Gabirol's Mivhar ha-Peninim. EJ IX, 1308; Vinograd, Venice 263.
