Poetic proverbs in the form of a discussion between a prince immersed in the vanities of the times and an ascetic monk removed from worldly desires. Mantua, 1557.
Second edition of Ben HaMelech V'HaNazir, an early work of wisdom and mussar originally authored by an early Greek sage and translated into Lashon HaKodesh by Rabbi Avraham HaLevi Chasda'i at the beginning of the 13th century. The book was very well-received among the Jewish people. Gedolei HaDorot, Rishonim and Acharonim such as Rabbeinu HaMe'iri and the Gr"a, through Chassidic masters, studied and quoted from the book.
