Spinoza's given name, which means "Blessed", varies among different languages. In 1670, Spinoza moved to The Hague where he lived on a small pension from Jan de Witt and a small annuity from the brother of his dead friend, Simon de Vries.[26] He worked on the Ethics, wrote an unfinished Hebrew grammar, began his Political Treatise, wrote two scientific essays ("On the Rainbow" and "On the Calculation of Chances"), and began a Dutch translation of the Bible (which he later destroyed).[26]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2223.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2223.txt
