Reviews

In preparing these editions, translations, annotations, and appendices, Sela sheds great light on the intellectual energy expended on astrology by one of Jewry's greatest poets and one of Jewry's most brilliant biblical exegetes, whose commentaries have abiding value...the book is highly recommended for students and scholars... -Mayer Gruber, Ben-Gurion Unversity, RRJ 19,1 (2016)
