He is considered to be one of the pioneers of the Hebrew Scientific literature.\u003cbr\u003eHe was taught Talmud by his father, who was a rabbi but recognised the scientific talents of his son and allowed him to venture into sciences studies. In his early twenties Rabinowitz founded a technical school for Jewish boys in Dvinsk. He published several self-instructing scientific textbooks in Hebrew, in addition to two different Russian-language Jewish magazines during his lifetime. His works were published during the 'golden age' of the Tsarist Russia's Haskalah movement under Tsar Alexander II. In 1886 Rabinowitz was awarded an honorary citizenship by the government in recognition of his services to literature and the advancement of knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1852 he started writing his first scientific work 'Yesodey Chochmat HaTeva HaKlalit' that was intended to include six volumes, but due to the luck of funds only one volume was eventually published in 1867 - 'Sefer HaMenuchah veHaTnuah'. Almost a decade later Rabinowitz published a few additional scientific books, separate from his original magnum opus. 'Otzar HaChochmah veHaMadah' contained four volumes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis extremely scarce prospectus advertises Volume III - 'Sefer HaHarkavah veHaHafradah o Chochmat HaChimiyah' which explores the science of chemistry.
