Abraham Ibn Ezra - Böcker

“Weinberger offers the reader a rare opportunity to become intimately acquainted with… Abraham ibn Ezra, [who] also was known and admired in the non-Jewish world, and has been immortalized in Robert Browning’s ‘Rabbi Ben Ezra.’ Weinberger is to be commended for making his poetry available in English, and for authoring a most valuable introduction to ibn Ezra’s life and work.” – Menorah Review

Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra, poet, philosopher, mathematician, was one of the outstanding personalities produced by medieval Jewry. His chief claim to fame, however, is his commentary on the Bible. The latter is printed in all major editions of the "Hebrew Scriptures" and influenced other luminaries such as Maimonides, Rabbi David Kimchi, Nahmanides, Ralbag, Abarvanel, and all serious students of the "Hebrew Bible", for whom his works are essential. Ibn Ezra's commentary on the first two "Books of Psalms" are now available in English for the first time, accompanied by a thorough annotation. Students of Scripture at all levels will find this a valuable asset to their studies of Scripture and Jewish thought.
