He wrote, together with his brother Mordecai (Marcus), the Or Ester ('Light of Esther'), a Hebrew dictionary of the Latin words occurring in the Talmud, targumim and midrashim (Dessau, 1812). They also wrote a similar work on the Greek words, which was never printed.[3] The periodical Jedidja (i. 117–125) contains a biographical obituary of Simon by his brother Mordecai.[4]
Bondi was related to the author Bernhard Beer and the court factor and banker Simon Isaac Bondi.[5][6] His sister Sophie married into the Warburg family of Hamburg.[6]
