<p> a celebrated rabbi of the 16th century, undertook and accomplished the hereulean task of furnishing a sort of concordance to every passage of [[Scripture]] quoted or commented upon in the [[Babylonian]] Talmud, and called it after his own name, תּוֹלְדוֹת אִהֲרֹן, "the [[Offering]] of Aaron." It was first published at [[Freiburg]] and [[Basle]] in 1581, in folio. Of such importance did the great [[Buxtorf]] consider the work that he published the whole of it as an Appendix to the first edition of his Chaldaic, Talmudical, and Rabbinical Lexicon, in 1639, with the following [[Latin]] paraphrase of its title-page: "Index locupletissimus omnium locorum in toto Talmudico opere de sacris Bibliis eompraehensorum, summo studio et fidelitate collectus" (which, however, is not reprinted in the new edition of Buxtorf's Lexicon by Fischer, Leipsic, 1869-1874). In 1590 an enlarged edition, including references to the Zohar, Baal Akeda, or [[Isaac]] Arama's philosophical work, entitled עֲקֵדִת יַצְחָק, and Ikkarim of [[Joseph]] Albo, was published at Vienna. Between sixty and seventy years afterwards the then famous rabbi [[Jacob]] Sasportas, whom subsequent [[Hebrew]] writers described as "most distinguished in the law and crowned with humility," a native of Oran, in North Africa-who was successively chief rabbi of the [[Sephardim]] congregations at Leghorn, Hamburg, and Amsterdam- supplemented the work of [[Pesaro]] by a concordance of the passages of Scripture quoted and treated in the [[Jerusalem]] Talmud. This supplement the author called after his own name, תולדות יעקב, "the Offering of Jacob." The twofold work, as a whole, was first published at [[Amsterdam]] in 1652, then at [[Berlin]] in 1705. The Rev. Dr. Margoliouth, of London, has recently announced an English translation. with editorial annotations and illustrations, in two volumes, of both Pesaro's and Sasportas's work. See Furst, Bibl. Jud. 3:79; De Rossi, Dizionario storico degli autori Ebrei, p. 262 (Germ. transl. by Hamburger); Wolf, Bibl. Hebr. 1:128 sq.; 3:80 sq. (B. P.) </p>
