In Or Hashem, R' Chasdai Crescas rejects all kinds of Greek philosophy and many ideas of the Rambam and the Ralbag.

55	The Compendum The Refiner	Translated by Hermann Gollancz	London, 1902
55	Sefer HaChibur and Sefer HaMatzref by Rabeinu Berachyah Bar Natronai HaNakdan are both ethical works similar to Chovos HaLevavos by Rabeinu Bachya Ibn Pakuda, and are based on the views of Rabeinu Saadiah Gaon and other Gaonim. Rabeinu Berachyah Bar Natronai HaNakdan was one of the great Rishonim of the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Rabeinu Berachyah is mostly known for his fables called Mishlei Shualim and he is known as the Jewish Aesop. This edition has both the original Hebrew texts and an excellent English translation with a very extensive introduction and notes, by Prof. Hermann Gollancz. Also, it contains photos of some pages from the original manuscripts of these seforim. We have split up the 2 parts of the book (Original Hebrew and English Introduction and Translation) into separate files, so that they are easier to read.

58	Mishneh Kesef is a kabbalistic, ethical and philosophical commentary on Chumash, written by on of the great Rishonim, Rabeinu Yosef Ibn Kaspi. It consists of two parts: Tiras Kesef - Sefer HaSod and Matzref LeKesef. Tiras Kesef is a kabbalistic commentary on Chumash that discusses a whole sefer of Chumash at once instead of going Parsha by Parsha, specifically paying attention to the stories and not to laws. Matzref LeKesef is a commentary on the simple meaning, similar to Rashi and Ibn Ezra, but with a different twist, and does not have any kabbalistic interpretations. This is the first and only edition of this sefer, edited by Yitzchok Last.

64	The Massorah is an encyclopedic work siting all various readings of the Tanach from different manuscripts through out the world. In the first four volumes, the original text of the masorah (in Hebrew) is arranged alphabetically with many additional notes drawn from manuscripts. The fifth volume contains supplements, and some masoretic tractates. The sixth volume renders into English all Hebrew entries of the first volume up to the letter "yod," with explanatory notes. Christian David Ginsburg himself was a Jewish apostate who originally learned in the Yeshivas of Poland but later converted to Christianity (thus adopting the name Christian) and moved to England. Inspite of his personal status his works are still cited and used by many present day talmidei chachamim and serve as an invaluable work towards preserving the massorah of the correct text of Tanach.
