Abstract: This study is focused on the Italian vernacular text written by Simone Luzzatto "Discourse on the State of the Jews". It is important to observe the narrative of this seventeenth century Venetian rabbi in two aspects: firstly, how he tried to incorporate Jews into the Venetian Republic, secondly, how and for what purpose he instrumentalized the past and antiquity. We argue that the treatise of Luzzatto had a fundamental impact on the birth of the Italian version of the Haskalah, which influenced the other versions significantly.
