REGGIO, ISACCO SAMUEL. - Hebraist, b. in Gorizia in 1784, d. there in 1855. From 1810 professor of history and geography at that Liceo, from 1846 honorary rabbi in succession to his father Abramo, R. is an authentic representative of the Enlightenment.

He wrote in Hebrew: On the Divine Origin of the Law (Vienna 1818). He published a Pentateuch with Italian translation and a rationalistic commentary (ibid. 1821). His principal work is The Torah and Philosophy (in Hebrew, ibid. 1827), in which he treats of the usefulness of uniting religion with philosophy. Many ideas were developed by him in the form of letters and collected in a correspondence. He edited the edition of works of Elijah Delmedigo and of Leone da Modena. He was editor of various journals. He made a poetic version of the book of Isaiah (1831).
