Six books authored or edited by Isaac Satanow:
• Zemirot Asaf, Part III, ethics in poetry form, modeled after the Books of Tehillim and Mishlei. Berlin, [1793].
Part III of Satanow's series of books. This book is one of Satanow's forgeries. He attributes his work (in the first volume of Mishlei Asaf) to Asaf, the Psalmic poet, stating that he himself only composed the commentary, while in reality, the entire book was his creation: the main text, together with the commentary, approbation, forewords and praises. The book begins with Shirat Dodim, a poem in praise of the author by "Zarchi ibn Masoud of Italy, presently in company of the generals of the Czar's army… in the plains of Brabant"; this poem is also pseudoepigraphic, and was composed by Satanow.
• Siftei Renanot, Hebrew grammar, by Isaac Satanow. Berlin, 1773. Ownership inscription on inside cover.
• Sefer HaMiddot by Aristotle, Parts I and II, with a commentary by Isaac Satanow. Berlin, 1790. Worming. Stamp of "R. Itzek Satanow" on the title page.?• Bi'ur Milot HaHigayon by the Rambam. Anonymous commentary (by Moses Mendelssohn), with additions and glosses by Isaac Satanow. Berlin, [1795].
• Machbarot Immanuel, with glosses and notes by Isaac Satanow. Berlin, 1796.
• Sefer HaGedarim, encyclopedic work on philosophy, medicine and ethics, by R. Menachem son of Avraham Perpignan. New edition, with additions by Isaac Satanow. Berlin, 1798.

Isaac Satanow (1732-1804) was a strange and enigmatic figure, an exceptionally talented and erudite scholar, amongst the founders of the Haskalah movement. He authored dozens of books, some of which were pseudoepigraphic, having been attributed by him to earlier writers. Satanow also published books authored by Torah scholars of the Middle Ages and books of Hebrew poetry, such as Bi'ur Milot HaHigayon and Machbarot Immanuel (included in this collection).
