The Me'am Lo'ez commentary on the Bible was originally written in the Ladino language in Constantinople by Rabbi Yaakov Culi, one of the greatest Sephardic sages. The first books were first published in 1730. It is a monumental classical which weaves Midrash, halachah and aggadah from the Talmud with the best of the later commentaries to produce an exceedingly thorough, yet immensely readable, work. The Torah Anthology is a clear, modern translation.
