Elijah Levita : ウィキペディア英語版
Elia Levita

Elia Levita (13 February 1469 – 28 January 1549), (Hebrew: אליהו בן אשר הלוי אשכנזי) also known as Elijah Levita, Elias Levita, Élie Lévita, Elia Levita Ashkenazi, Eliahu Bakhur ("Eliahu the Bachelor") was a Renaissance Hebrew grammarian, scholar and poet. He was the author of the ''Bovo-Bukh'' (written in 1507–1508), the most popular chivalric romance written in Yiddish. Living for a decade in the house of Cardinal Egidio da Viterbo, he was also one of the foremost tutors of Christian notables in Hebrew and Jewish mysticism during the Renaissance.
==Life and work==
Born at Neustadt near Nuremberg, to a family of Levitical status, he was the youngest of nine brothers. During his early manhood, the Jews were expelled from this area. He then moved to northern Italy, and in Padua in 1504, he wrote the 650 ''ottava rima'' stanzas of the ''Bovo-Bukh'', based on the popular romance ''Buovo d'Antona'', which, in turn, was based on the Anglo-Norman romance of Sir Bevis of Hampton.〔(1972 ) p.6.〕
By 1514 he was living in Venice, where he wrote two scathing satirical pasquinades. That same year he moved to Rome, where he acquired a friend and patron, the Renaissance humanist and cardinal Egidio da Viterbo (1471–1532) of Viterbo, in whose palace he lived for more than ten years. Levita taught Hebrew to Egidio, and copied Hebrew manuscripts—mostly related to the Kabbalah—for the cardinal's library.〔 The first edition of Levita's Baḥur (Rome, 1518) is dedicated to Egidio, to whom Levita dedicated his Concordance (1521).
The 1527 Sack of Rome sent Levita into exile once more, back to Venice, where he worked as a proofreader and taught Hebrew.〔 Levita published at Venice a treatise on the laws of cantillation entitled ''Sefer Tuv Ta'am''. At seventy years of age, Levita left his wife and children and departed in 1540 for Isny, accepting the invitation of Paul Fagius to superintend his Hebrew printing-press there. During Elia's stay with Fagius (until 1542 at Isny (in Bavaria), he published the following works: ''Tishbi,'' a dictionary containing 712 words used in Talmud and Midrash, with explanations in German and a Latin translation by Fagius (Isny, 1541); ''Sefer Meturgeman,'' explaining all the Aramaic words found in the Targum (Isny, 1541); ''Shemot Debarim,'' an alphabetical list of the technical Hebrew words (Isny, 1542); and a new and revised edition of the ''Bachur''.〔''Jewish Encyclopedia'' article.〕 While in Germany he also printed his ''Bovo-Bukh''.〔 On returning to Venice, Eliah, in spite of his great age, he worked on editions of several works, including David Kimhi's ''Miklol'', which he also annotated.〔〔
Elia Levita died 28 January 1549 in Venice, aged 80 years.

He has descendants living today, including British Prime Minister David Cameron, who describes him as "my forefather Elijah Levita who wrote what is thought to have been the first ever Yiddish novel".〔(David Cameron: I feel 'connection' to Jewish people )The Telegraph, 3:10PM GMT 12 Mar 2014〕〔Niall Firth, ("David Cameron 'may be directly descended from Moses'" ), MailOnline, July 10, 2009〕
