I think the category of Italkim should be removed since Luzatto is not an old-Italian Jewish family but of more recent German origin.

It seems to me that some sections of this article are inaccurate. Specifically, I was under the impression that he was not forced out of Padua (rather left of his own accord), and was told he could continue teaching mysticism once he reached the age of 40, on condition he lived in Israel (this being the reason for his moving there). This is based on the short biography at the beginning of the book The Way of God, Transl. Aryeh Kaplan, Feldheim 1997. ISBN 0-87306-769-X. Perhaps this needs revising? 87.80.37.31 (talk) 20:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re: citation

This article needs citation and clarification So far it is presenting views that are not mainstream and are controversial: Such as the Ramchal naming someone as Messiah ben Dovid....

This is suspect.
