Twersky, Isadore - Harris, Jay Michael (eds.), Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra: Studies in the Writings of a Twelfth-Century Jewish Polymath, Cambridge (Mass.), Harvard University: Center for Jewish Studies (Harvard Judaic texts and studies, 10), 1993, v + 170 + 48 pp.

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.
