When Harry Austryn Wolfson died in September 1974 at the age of eighty-seven, he left behind him a reputation for personal and professional eminence that bordered on legend.
...Wolfson's next project, the amplification of the terse and suggestive language of Spinoza's Ethics-an idiom ironically as succinct and elusive as that of the rabbis themselves-was detailed almost to a fault, and for its comprehensiveness proved to be at once a history of medieval Jewish philosophy as well...
...Wolfson's is the surprising perspective of the middle, the organization and evaluation of the history of philosophy under a medieval aspect...

 Harvard University Center for Jewish Studies - Harry A. Wolfson
He was Harry Austryn Wolfson, the first Nathan Littauer Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy, clearly one of this century's great humanists, a prolific and creative scholar in the history of philosophy.
Professor Wolfson's trail-blazing study of Jewish thinkers from Philo of Alexandria to Benedict Spinoza, and his systematic integration of the study of Jewish, Islamic, and Christian philosophy, attracted wide international attention.
Even at the time of Wolfson's retirement in 1958, very few American universities offered any kind of program in Jewish Studies, and individual courses in Jewish subjects were generally "service courses" offered to specialists in church history, philosophy, and other disciplines.

 Philosophy of Spinoza : Unfolding the Latent Process of His Reasoning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Harry Austryn Wolfson's massive two-volume commentary on Baruch Spinoza was originally published in 1934, and it is still one of the best.
It is certainly one of the most thorough: Wolfson leaves no stone unturned in his examination of what Spinoza said and what he meant by it.
With monumental thoroughness, Wolfson dissects Spinoza's writings on numerous matters of philosophy and theology and (most helpfully) compares his thought on many points with that of Moses Maimonides (whom Wolfson names as one of the three dominant influences on Spinoza's thought, the other two being Descartes and -- sometimes indirectly -- Aristotle).

 Introduction
Harry Austryn Wolfson, the renowned Spinoza scholar of the first half of the twentieth century, said that Spinoza was the last of the medievals and the first of the moderns.
On the one hand, Spinoza was still using some of the categories and conceptions of Arabic, Jewish, and Christian medieval thought.
According to Wolfson, Spinoza was the first philosopher of modern times who required no axiom or premise based on revealed religious information.

Harris said that Twersky was also "a wonderful colleague, helper, and mentor, who helped to ease my transition into Harvard.
