Biography
Moses Tedeschi was born in Trieste, Italy on June 6, 1821, and lived there for most of his life. In 1845 he became a teacher in the Talmud Torah there. On June 13, 1851 he married Sara Gimili. In 1861 he spent a year as a Rabbi in Spoleto, but then he returned to Trieste and resumed teaching there. He died in Trieste on June 17, 1898.

Bible Commentary
Moses Tedeschi authored a Bible commentary named Hoil Moshe (הואיל משה). The commentary encompasses Torah and most of Nevi'im and Ketuvim. The commentary is heavily influenced by that of Samuel David Luzzatto. The commentary was written over a long period of time, and there are noticeable differences in method from one book to another.
