Rabbi Jacob ben Isaac Ashkenazi (1550–1625), of Janów (near Lublin, Poland), was the author of the Tseno Ureno, sometimes called the "Women's Bible", a Yiddish-language prose work written in c.1590s whose structure parallels the weekly portions of the Pentateuch and Haftorahs used in Shabbat services.[1]
He also authored a supplement, the Melitz Yosher (<templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />מליץ יושר) and Seyfer Ha Magid (<templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />המגיד). Ha Magid, which literally means "the book that tells" or "the messenger book" in the biblical sense, as in "the messenger came to David saying" in 2 Samuel 15:13, is a similar compilation on the Prophets and Hagiographa.[1]
