As is normal with one of the most influential texts in the history of mankind, the Torah has been the subject of several translations, and this book presents the one by two Sephardic Jews, Yom Tov Atías and Abraham Usque, published for the first time in 1553 in the Italian city of Ferrara, in a beautiful facsimile based on the edition published by Meir Halevi Leteris in 1942 in Buenos Aires.
