Resum

The biblical commentaries of Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra (1089/1092-1164/1167) have become indispensable to anyone desiring a full appreciation of the biblical text. This scholar also wrote on philology, philosophy, mathematics and astrology. The six essays in this book explore Ibn Ezra's multi-faceted work and intellectual legacy. The contributors illuminate his exegetical methodology; the role of astrology in his work; his philological insights into the Hebrew language; the possibility of his influence on the great Jewish philosopher and jurist, Maimonides; the numerous supercommentaries called forth by his enigmatic commentary; and modern Jewish perspectives of the man.
