Dear Gentlemen and Dames of this respectful foundation. I would like to present three very brief points, which I believe to be of utmost importance to the general knowledge of this group:1. Neither R. Saul Levi Morteira nor R. Menasseh Ben Israel were Rabbinical teachers, or Master predecessors, of Spinoza’s philosophy.2. Spinoza was a "philosopher of indistinction and indifferenciation" in every sense of the word, he did not distinguish many classical concepts, and he did not include citations or quote other forgotten authors who influenced him, such as Caramuel, Raynaud, Roëll, etc. He probably mimicked (in form, not in conceptions) the superior free style of Montaigne.3. Wikipedia is a very useful application but it is not a reliable source. Thank you for your valuable attention.
