Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ibn Ezra Literature, Vol. 4: Essays on the Writings of Abraham Ibn Ezra In the second Essay the writings of Ibn Ezra are described seriatim. The present volume contains only the chapter on the Commentaries, including translations and super-com mentaries. A few general remarks on the character and the peculiarities of Ibn Ezra's exegesis form the Introduc tion to this Essay. The account given of the manuscripts is for the most part founded on personal inspection; but we have also derived great service from the bibliographical works of Dr. Steinschneider (viz. Hammazkir or Hebra ische Bibliographie, his catalogues of the Hebrew books of the Bodleian Library, and of mss. At Leyden and Munich, his contributions to the Encyclopaedia of Ersch and Gruber, etc.) from the Magazin fur Wissenschaft des Judenthums edited by dr.berliner; Dr. Graetz's, Geschichte der J uden, the First Part of the Catalogue of Hebrew Manuscripts issued by Dr. Schiller, of Cambridge, and the unedited one of Mr. A. Neubauer, m.a., of Oxford. The author is especi ally indebted to the last-named scholar, who, with his habitual kindness, has been most prompt in supplying any information that was desired, and in communicating any discovery of moment in the Ibn Ezra Literature.

Download or read book Abraham Ibn Ezra on Nativities and Continuous Horoscopy written by Shlomo Sela and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-09-27 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume offers the first critical edition, accompanied with English translation and commentary, of Sefer ha-Moladot, which addresses the doctrine of nativities and the system of continuous horoscopy in nativities, and of Sefer ha-Tequfah, which is devoted exclusively to continuous horoscopy in nativities. The doctrine of nativities makes predictions about the whole of an individual’s subsequent life on the basis of the natal chart, and the system of continuous horoscopy in nativities is concerned with the interval between life and death and makes predictions based mainly on anniversary horoscopes, which are juxtaposed with the natal horoscope. To Abraham Ibn Ezra’s mind, not only are these two doctrines the core of astrology; they also epitomize the praxis of the astrological métier. “Sela...has provided explanatory appendices and very interesting notes about Jewish attitudes toward the sciences and astrology in the middle ages.” Reference & Research Book News, 2013.

Download or read book Abraham Ibn Ezra written by Shlomo Sela and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2007 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Middle Ages until the present, the development of astrology among Jews was associated mainly with the name of Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089-1167). His scientific corpus deals with mathematics, astronomy, scientific instruments and tools, and the Jewish calendar; but especially with astrology. This volume is the first product of a larger enterprise-a scientific edition of all twelve Ibn Ezra's astrological treatises-and offers a critical Hebrew text of the two versions of Ibn Ezra's "Sefer ha-Te'amim," the Book of Reasons, accompanied by an annotated translation and commentary. The two treatises presented here were designed by Ibn Ezra to offer "reasons," "explanations," or "meanings" of the raw astrological concepts formulated in the introduction to astrology that Ibn Ezra entitled "Reshit Hokhmah" (Beginning of Wisdom).
Download or read book Four Approaches to the Book of Psalms written by Uriel Simon and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uriel Simon describes the fascinating controversy that raged from the tenth to the twelfth centuries regarding the theological status and literary genre of the Psalms. Saadiah Gaon, who initiated the controversy, claimed that the Psalter was a second Torah—the Lord's word to David—and by no means man's prayer to God. Salmon ben Yerucham and Yefet ben Ali insisted on the Karaite view that the Book of Psalms was the prophetic common prayerbook of Israel. Totally opposing both of these concepts, Rabbi Moses Ibn Giqatilah regarded the Psalms as non-prophetic prayers authored by different poets, beginning with David and ending with the captive Levites in the Babylonian exile. Finally, Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra reverted to the belief held by the Talmudic sages—that the Psalms were Israel's divinely inspired and most sacred poetry. The book also includes the full text of a previously unknown introduction to Ibn Ezra's lost commentary on the Psalms, which is much more elaborate and revealing than the introduction to his familiar classical commentary.

Download or read book Abraham Ibn Ezra s Introductions to Astrology written by Shlomo Sela and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume offers a critical edition of the Hebrew texts, accompanied by English translation and commentary of Reshit Ḥokhmah (Beginning of Wisdom) and Mishpeṭei ha-Mazzalot (Judgments of the Zodiacal Signs) by Abraham Ibn Ezra (ca. 1089–ca. 1161). The first, the summa and by far the longest of his astrological works, the target of the most cross-references from the rest of that corpus and the most influential, enjoyed the widest circulation among Jews in the Middle Ages and after. The second, by contrast, is the most obscure. It is never referred to elsewhere by its author and is the only work for which Ibn Ezra’s authorship must be substantiated. Reshit Ḥokhmah and Mishpeṭei ha-Mazzalot were written in order to explain concepts common to the various branches of astrology that Ibn Ezra addressed elsewhere and to elucidate the worldview that underlies astrology. These two treatises are the richest and most varied with regard to the astrological information they present. Reshit Ḥokhmah and Mishpeṭei ha-Mazzalot also exemplify the close collaboration between astronomy and astrology in medieval science and are the two components of Ibn Ezra’s astrological corpus with the most extensive, comprehensive, and significant astronomical content. "A critical edition with English translation of Reshit Ḥokhmah was published in 1998 by Epstein. Sela has not only aspired to improve it but also supplied a commentary to render the text more comprehensible. Sela’s mission is successfully accomplished for both treatises. This multifarious book is another important contribution to a deeper understanding of the life and work of one of the most important medieval Jewish polymaths." - Ilana Wartenberg, Universität Bern, in: Journal for the History of Astronomy 50.1 (2019)
