Sefer Kodesh Hillulim, Las Alabancas de Santidad, traducion de los Psalmos de David, por la misma Phrasis y palabras del Hebrayco. Tehillim in Hebrew, with Spanish translation and commentary by R. Ya'akov Yehuda Leon Templo. Amsterdam, [1671].
R. Ya'akov Yehuda Leon Templo (1603-after 1675), a Jewish scholar in 17th-century Amsterdam, was born in Portugal to a family of Jews expelled from Spain and studied in Amsterdam with the rabbi of the Neve Shalom community, R. Yitzhak Uziel. Famous for his books on the structure of the temple, he later created a model of Solomon’s Temple and its holy vessels on an equivalent scale. This renowned creation earned him the appellation of “Templo” in the European world of science in those days. This is a Spanish translation with a commentary which he authored during the course of seven months, which reaped lavish praise of sages, scholars, researchers and poets.
