In his seminal and often-quoted study on the appropriation of the sciences by Jews in medieval Provence, Gad Freudenthal calls attention to the important role of the medieval Hebrew encyclopedias in the transmission of science and philosophy from Arabic into Hebrew. This chapter seeks to address one such area, namely the section on Aristotles Metaphysics in the Midra ha-?okhmah (M.Ḥ), by elaborating on Mauro Zontas valuable observations on the subject in his The Place of Aristotelian Metaphysics in the Thirteenth- Century Encyclopedias. The importance of this section lies in the fact that, to the best of the knowledge, it is the first Hebrew text to present a substantial survey of Aristotles Metaphysics . Latin-into-Hebrew translations of Aristotles Metaphysics were to follow only in the last quarter of the fifteenth century, in Spain. Keywords: Aristotles Metaphysics ; Jews; medieval Hebrew encyclopedias; Midra ha-?okhmah (M.?)

De naam Averroes is ook in Nederland niet onbekend. Een snelle zoekactie op internet wijst uit dat verschillende stichtingen, verenigingen en bedrijven in Nederland hun naam hebben ontleend aan deze veelzijdige islamitische geleerde uit de twaalfde eeuw. In de academische wereld is de naam Averroes niet alleen bij arabisten en islamologen bekend, maar ook bij diegenen die zich bezighouden met middeleeuwse Latijnse filosofie waar Averroes’ denkbeelden van grote betekenis zijn geweest - Averroes is immers de gelatiniseerde naam van Ibn Rushd (voluit: Abu l-Walid Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Rushd). Wat veel minder bekend is, is dat hij ook in de middeleeuwse joodse filosofie zijn sporen heeft nagelaten, zoals ik in dit artikel nader zal toelichten.

L'A. examine les conceptions des encyclopedistes juifs du 13 e siecle sur le role de la femelle dans la reproduction, en ce qui concerne notamment l'autorite d'Aristote et de Galien ou la question de l'existence d'une semence propre a la femme. La position de Judah ha-Cohen est examinee et, a partir d'elle, celle de Ibn Rushd ou d'autres Juifs medievaux

Las últimas tres décadas han sido testigos de un nuevo y vívido interés en Ibn Daud. La bibliografía en la entrada dedicada a este autor en la Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy revela que muchos estudios sobre Abraham Ibn Daud, así como nuevas ediciones de sus escritos, se han publicado entre 1990 y principios de la década de 2020. El objetivo de este artículo es hacer un balance de los resultados de la nueva investigación y revisar cómo se ha avanzado en nuestro conocimiento de este autor multifacético en las últimas décadas y detectar dónde hay todavía lagunas en nuestro conocimiento de su obra. Aunque voy a abordar varios aspectos de la vida de Ibn Daud, sus actividades y la recepción de sus obras, mi enfoque se va a centrar en los estudios de su trabajo filosófico.

This volume makes available to the scholarly world the Otot ha-Shamayim, Samuel Ibn Tibbon's Hebrew version of Aristotle's Meteorology, completed in 1210. This treatise, based on the Arabic paraphrase of the Meteorology by Ibn al-Bitriq, was the first Aristotelian work to be translated into Hebrew. As it contains quotations from the lost Arabic translation of Alexander of Aphrodisias' commentary on the Meteorology and from Ibn Rushd's commentary, it provides a more complete picture of Aristotle's text than the Arabic paraphrase. The present volume contains a critical edition of Ibn Tibbon's text as well as an English translation and an extensive introduction. In addition to contributing to our knowledge of the history of the transmission of the Aristotelian text, the present book is of major importance for the study of medieval Jewish philosophy.
