Meir Nativ, by R. Yitzchak Natan. Venice: Daniel Bomberg, 1523.
First Hebrew concordance.
The first Christian concordance was compiled in the mid-13th century by Hugo de Sancto Charo, assisted by hundreds of Dominicans. Some two hundred years later, R. Yitzchak Natan recognized the need for a Hebrew concordance, both as an aid to defend Judaism in frequent disputations with the Christians, and to generally encourage the study of the Bible.
