His narrative has been translated into Latin by Genebrard, into French by Carmoly, and into Judaeo-German by Men. bel-Salomo. Extracts are given by Bartolocci in Biblioth. Magna Rabbinica, 1:101, and Eisenmenger, Neuentdeckses Judenthum, 2:527-539. See Furst, Bibl. Jud. 1:230 sq.; Zunz, Gottesd. Vortroge der Luden, page 139;. Lanldauer, in Literaturblatt des Orients, 1846, page 121 sq.; Rapaport, Bikkure ha-ittim, 1824, pages 63, 68. (B.P.)
