Owing to an error propagated by <a href="/wiki/Chaim_Yosef_David_Azulai" title="Chaim Yosef David Azulai">Azulai</a>, he has been regarded as a scion of the house of <a href="/wiki/De_Pomis" class="mw-redirect" title="De Pomis">De Pomis</a>. However, according to present scholarship, it is almost a certainty that he belonged to the <a href="/w/index.php?title=Anaw&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Anaw (page does not exist)">Anaw</a> (<span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">ענו</span></span>, <a href="/wiki/Italian_language" title="Italian language">Italian</a>: <i lang="it">degli Mansi</i>) family. Aside from being an acknowledged authority on the ritual law, Nathan's father, Jehiel ben Abraham, was, like the majority of the contemporary Italian rabbis, a liturgic poet. </p><p>The details of Nathan's sad life must be excerpted and pieced together from several autobiographic verses appended to the first edition of his <a href="/wiki/Lexicon" title="Lexicon">lexicon</a>. It appears that he began life not as a student but as a peddler of linenwear, which was then considered a distasteful occupation. The death of his employer caused him to abandon trade for the <a href="/wiki/Torah" title="Torah">Torah</a>. He returned home, where his father began to bestow upon him the treasures of learning, the accumulation of which was continued under foreign masters. </p><p>First, Nathan went to <a href="/wiki/Sicily" title="Sicily">Sicily</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Matzliach_ibn_al-Batzaq&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Matzliach ibn al-Batzaq (page does not exist)">Matzliach ibn al-Batzaq</a> had just returned from a course of study under <a href="/wiki/Hai_ben_Sherira" title="Hai ben Sherira">Hai ben Sherira</a>, the last of the <a href="/wiki/Pumbedita" title="Pumbedita">Pumbedita</a> <a href="/wiki/Geonim" title="Geonim">geonim</a>. There, Nathan garnered that Babylonian learning, which has led some to the erroneous notion that he had himself pilgrimed to Pumbedita. </p><p>Then <a href="/wiki/Narbonne" title="Narbonne">Narbonne</a> enticed him, where he sat under the prominent exegete and aggadist <a href="/wiki/Moshe_ha-Darshan" title="Moshe ha-Darshan">Moshe ha-Darshan</a>. On his way home, he probably lingered for a while at the several academies flourishing in Italy, notably at <a href="/wiki/Pavia" title="Pavia">Pavia</a>, where a rabbi named Moses was headmaster, and at <a href="/wiki/Bari" title="Bari">Bari</a>, where <a href="/wiki/Moses_Kalfo" title="Moses Kalfo">Moses Kalfo</a> taught. He arrived home, however, from his scholarly travels sometime before his father's death, which occurred about the year 1070 and which allowed him to illustrate the simplicity of funeral rites he had been advocating. </p><p>The Roman community entrusted the rabbinic college's presidency to Jehiel's three learned sons: Daniel, Nathan, and Abraham – 'the geonim of the house of Rabbi Jehiel', as they were styled.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Daniel, the eldest, seems to have composed a commentary on the mishnaic section <a href="/wiki/Zeraim" title="Zeraim">Zeraim</a>, from which the <i>Arukh</i> quotes frequently, and to have stood in friendly relations with <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christian</a> scholars. The three brothers rapidly acquired general recognition as authorities on the <a href="/wiki/Torah" title="Torah">Torah</a>; and numerous inquiries were addressed to them. Their most frequent correspondent was Solomon ben Isaac ("Yitzhaki"), an Italian scholar. </p><p>Nathan's private life was extremely sad. All his children died very young; and the bereaved father sought solace in philanthropy and scholarly application. In the year 1085 he built a communal bathhouse conforming to the ritual law; and about seventeen years later (September, 1101) he and his brothers erected a beautiful synagogue. In February 1101 he had completed his magnum opus, the <i>Arukh</i>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Arukh">The <i>Arukh</i></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nathan_ben_Jehiel&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The Arukh"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:V09p181001_Nathan_ben_Jehiel.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/V09p181001_Nathan_ben_Jehiel.jpg/220px-V09p181001_Nathan_ben_Jehiel.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="320" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/V09p181001_Nathan_ben_Jehiel.jpg/330px-V09p181001_Nathan_ben_Jehiel.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/V09p181001_Nathan_ben_Jehiel.jpg/440px-V09p181001_Nathan_ben_Jehiel.jpg 2x" data-file-width="519" data-file-height="756" /></a><figcaption>First page from the first edition of the <i>Arukh</i> (ca. 1480)</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sources">Sources</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nathan_ben_Jehiel&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Sources"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The sources of this work are numerous. Aside from the <i>Arukh</i> of <a href="/wiki/Tzemach_ben_Poltoi" class="mw-redirect" title="Tzemach ben Poltoi">Tzemach ben Poltoi</a>, which he utilized (it should be stated, however, that <a href="/wiki/Solomon_Judah_Loeb_Rapoport" title="Solomon Judah Loeb Rapoport">Solomon Judah Loeb Rapoport</a> and <a href="/wiki/Abraham_Geiger" title="Abraham Geiger">Abraham Geiger</a> deny this), he used a vast number of additional works. Above all, he placed under contribution the information received, in both oral and written form, from R. Maẓliaḥ and R. Moses ha-Darshan, the former of whom, in particular, through his studies under Hai, had made himself the repository of Eastern learning. The entire extent of Nathan's indebtedness to his authorities can not be estimated because of the hundreds of books he cited, many of which have not been preserved. But none will deny his obligation to <a href="/wiki/Gershom_ben_Judah" title="Gershom ben Judah">Gershom ben Judah</a>, whom he repeatedly quotes, though, as Kohut rightly maintains against Rapoport, he can not have been his disciple. </p><p>Similarly he used the writings of <a href="/wiki/Chananel_ben_Chushiel" title="Chananel ben Chushiel">Chananel ben Chushiel</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nissim_ben_Jacob" title="Nissim ben Jacob">Nissim ben Jacob</a>, both living at <a href="/wiki/Kairouan" title="Kairouan">Kairouan</a>.

None can gainsay the author's philologic spirit of inquiry – quite remarkable for his day, which antedated the science of linguistics; his frequent collation of "variæ lectiones" is notable, while his fine literary sense often saved him from crude etymological errancies. </p><p>Nevertheless, the multitude of languages marshaled in the <i>Arukh</i> is prodigious even for a period of polyglot proclivities. The non-Jewish <a href="/wiki/Aramaic" title="Aramaic">Aramaic</a> dialects are encountered side by side with <a href="/wiki/Arabic" title="Arabic">Arabic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Persian_language" title="Persian language">Persian</a>, <a href="/wiki/Koine_Greek" title="Koine Greek">Greek</a>, <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a>, and even <a href="/wiki/Old_Church_Slavonic_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Old Church Slavonic language">Slavonic</a>, while <a href="/wiki/Italian_language" title="Italian language">Italian</a> seems as familiar to the author as the various rabbinic forms of style. </p><p>This multiplicity of languages, however, is at present generally considered a mere mark of the multifarious character of the compilation; and the credit for the exegetic employment of the several languages is given to Nathan's authorities rather than to himself. </p><p>While he undoubtedly possessed a superficial and empiric knowledge of Latin and Greek, of which the former already contained an admixture of contemporary Italian, and the latter (subdivided into spoken and written Greek) was still partly used in southern Italy; while he may have acquired a desultory acquaintance with Arabic, and certainly was quite familiar with Italian, yet it may be stated almost with certainty that the majority of his etymologies were compiled and copied from his various source-books. </p><p>For this reason, perhaps, the various dialects appear in the <i>Arukh</i> under several names, each originating seemingly in a different author, as Arabic, for example, which occurs under three distinct denotations, possibly without Nathan being aware of their synonymity. To the same cause may be assigned the <a href="/wiki/Polyonymy" class="mw-redirect" title="Polyonymy">polyonymy</a> of the Hebrew and rabbinic dialects in the <i>Arukh</i>, as well as the presence of a great deal of geographic and ethnographic information which the author certainly did not acquire in actual travel. As regards the grammatical derivation of <a href="/wiki/Hebrew" class="mw-redirect" title="Hebrew">Hebrew</a> words, Nathan deviated from the principle of <a href="/wiki/Triliteral_root" class="mw-redirect" title="Triliteral root">triliteral roots</a> discovered by <a href="/wiki/Judah_ben_David_Chayyuj" class="mw-redirect" title="Judah ben David Chayyuj">Judah ben David Chayyuj</a> and adopted by the Spanish grammarians as a rule; like most French and German rabbis, he considered two letters, and at times one, sufficient to form a Hebrew root. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Its_importance">Its importance</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nathan_ben_Jehiel&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Its importance"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i>Arukh</i> is significant as a monument in the history of culture. Aside from its purely scientific value as a storehouse of old readings and interpretations as well as of titles of many lost books, it is important as the only literary production of the Italian Jews of that age. Moreover, though mainly a compilation, it is one of the most noteworthy medieval monuments of learning. Compiled at the historic juncture when Jewish scholarship was transplanted from Babylonia and northern Africa to Europe and was subject to the perils of aberration, it signally emphasized the necessity of preserving the old rabbinical treasures and traditions. Its service in this respect was equivalent to that rendered by the two great products of contemporary Spanish and French Jews – Alfasi's Talmudic code and Rashi's commentary. Together the three contributed toward the spread of rabbinic study. Besides, one has to depend upon the <i>Arukh</i> for whatever knowledge one may have of the intellectual condition of the Italian Jews in the 11th century. Since its author, for example, uses the Italian language freely to elucidate etymologies, that he frequently offers the vernacular nomenclature for objects of natural history, that he repeatedly calls into service for purposes of illustration the customs of foreign peoples, the character of the reading public of his day can easily be inferred. The dawn of <a href="/wiki/Skepticism" title="Skepticism">skepticism</a> may be discerned in his remark that as regards conjuring and amulets neither their grounds nor their sources were known.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Influence_and_editions">Influence and editions</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nathan_ben_Jehiel&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Influence and editions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i>Arukh</i> rapidly achieved a wide circulation. According to Kohut, even <a href="/wiki/Rashi" title="Rashi">Rashi</a> was already in a position to utilize it in the second edition of his commentaries, having been acquainted with it by R. <a href="/w/index.php?title=Kalonymus_ben_Shabbethai&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Kalonymus ben Shabbethai (page does not exist)">Kalonymus ben Shabbethai</a>, the noted rabbi who had moved to <a href="/wiki/Worms,_Germany" title="Worms, Germany">Worms</a> from <a href="/wiki/Rome" title="Rome">Rome</a>. Kalonymus, however, can at best have transported to his new home but meager information concerning the <i>Arukh</i>, as his removal occurred about thirty years prior to its completion; the first folios he may well have seen, since he was intimately acquainted with Nathan. A generation after the time of Rashi the <i>Arukh</i> is found in general use among the Biblical commentators and the <a href="/wiki/Tosafists" class="mw-redirect" title="Tosafists">tosafists</a>, as well as among the legalistic and the grammatical authors. Numerous manuscript copies were brought into circulation; and with the introduction of printing its spread was widely extended. </p><p>The first edition, which bears neither the date nor the place of publication, probably belongs to the year 1477, while in 1531 <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Bomberg" title="Daniel Bomberg">Daniel Bomberg</a> of Venice issued what is no doubt the best of the early editions. In both the copying and the printing processes, however, the work suffered innumerable alterations and mutilations, which have been recently repaired to a certain extent by the scientific edition issued, on the basis of the first editions and of seven manuscripts, by <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Kohut" title="Alexander Kohut">Alexander Kohut</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Supplements_and_compendia">Supplements and compendia</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nathan_ben_Jehiel&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Supplements and compendia"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A further proof of the popularity gained by the <i>Arukh</i> lies in the numerous supplements and compendiums which soon clustered about it.
