<li><b>Biblical commentaries</b> –&#160;Melekhet Machshevet<fn>A homiletical-philosophical Torah commentary. Originally published in Venice, 1710, the work was reprinted in Koenigsberg, 1859, with an approbation from R. Y.Z. Mecklenburg. The publisher, R. Yehudah Leib Yaffo, considered the work especially relevant to the mid-19th century struggle to defend traditional Judaism against Reform. He sees Melekhet Machshevet as a peshat commentary that also shows how statements of the Talmudic Rabbis are in consonance with philosophy and science (see publisher's preface to the 1859 edition). Melekhet Machshevet includes an extremely extensive index of philosophical notions and topics that appear in the commentary, revealing the importance the author ascribed to such issues.</fn></li>
