Spinoza e la "cognitio universalis" dell’ebraico. Demistificazione e speculazione grammaticale nel "Compendio di grammatica ebraica"

The aim of this paper is to focus the main features of Spinoza's Compendium grammatices linguae hebraeae in order to point out the philosophical value of this work, closely connected with Spinoza's thought. The purpose of Spinoza's Hebrew Grammar is perfect and total knowledge of ancient Hebrew beyond the limited corpus of the Bible. This allows him to make a criticism of superstition in continuity with the Tractatus theologico-politicus and to undertake original research on the logical-grammatical structures of Hebrew. All the existing literature on the work has been critically taken into account.
