In order to understand the relationship between philosophy and religion, one of the major questions that must be explored is the relation between natural law and prophetic law. One of the main problems with modern research on this topic in the field of Jewish studies is that debate is relegated to the interpretation of only a few thinkers whose ideas are presumed to represent Judaism. The aim of this article is to begin remedying this issue by analyzing the relation between the Law of Moses and natural law as presented by four Jewish Averroists: Rabbis Isaac Albalag, Isaac Pulgar, Josef Ibn Kaspi, and Levi ben Abraham.

The 15th century Jewish Aragonian thinker, Abraham Bibago treats conjunction in his two main works, Derekh Emunah (“The Way of Faith”) and Commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics. In the former, which explicitly interprets Biblical and Talmudic stories along philosophical lines, Bibago promotes a neo-Platonic intellectual emanation schema and boldly asserts that human happiness is attained through conjunction with higher intellects. In the Commentary, which primarily treats Aristotle’s Metaphysics and Averroes’ commentaries on it, Bibago gives an account of conjunction that does not necessarily fit with the intellectual conjunction of Derekh Emunah. Indeed, his remarks in the Commentary are much less decisive about human happiness, suggesting that Bibago qua philosopher is more open minded about the summum bonum than he is qua religious thinker.

Hippocrates' successful quadrature of the lune was one of the earliest achievements of Greek geometry. Our only source for the nature of Hippocrates' work is Simplicius, who comments on Artistotle's remark that the inference from the quadrature of the lune to the quadrature of the circle is an example of faulty reasoning. In this article two groups of Hebrew texts are translated and analyzed. The first come from mathematical treatises, and their contents show that materials similar to those cited by Simplicius were translated and read in the later medieval period. The second group comprises constructions found as comments to the Averroean corpus, and they attest to the existence of a more limited tradition preserving simple constructions that were necessary to the understanding of Averroes' commentaries on Aristotle. Levi ben Gerson's reconstruction of the quadrature is wholly original. La quadrature de la lunule, par Hippocrate, fut une des premières réalisations de la géométrie grècque. Notre seule source concernant l'oeuvre d'Hippocrate est Simplicius, qui commente une remarque d'Aristote, selon laquelle il est fautif de se servir de la quadrature de la lunule pour connaı̂tre la quadrature du cercle. Dans cet article nous traduisons et analysons deux ensembles de textes hebraı̈ques portant sur ce sujet. Un premier ensemble renferme des textes qui proviennent de traités mathématiques et qui, par leur contenu, indiquent que des matériaux s'apparentant à ce que cite Simplicius étaient connus au Moyen Âge. Le second ensemble comprend des textes qui sont insérés dans des commentaires des écrits d'Averroès: ils attestent l'existence d'une tradition, d'une portée plus limitée, qui conserve des constructions simples qui étaient nécessaires à la compréhension de certains passages des commentaires d'Averroès. La reconstruction de la quadrature de la lunule qu'offre Lévi ben Gershon est entièrement originale. La quadratura della lunula, risolta da Ippocrate, fu uno dei primi successi della geometria greca. L'unica fonte relativa all'opera di Ippocrate e un'annotazione di Simplicio, a commento di un'osservazione di Aristotele, secondo cui servirsi della quadratura della lunula per risolvere la quadratura del cerchio e un esempio di inferenza indebita. Nel presente articolo sono tradotti e analizzati due gruppi di testi ebraici relativi all'argomento. Il primo e desunto da trattati matematici, che monstrano come materiali simili a quelli impiegati da Simplico fossero noti in età medievale. Il secondo gruppo e costituito da testi inseriti nei commenti agli scritti di Averroe, che attestano l'esistenza di una tradizione più limitata, ma che ha conservato alcune construzioni semplici, necessarie alla comprensione di passi dei commenti di Averroe. Del tutto originale risulta la ricostruzione della quadratura della lunula proposta da Levi ben Gershon.

Abraham Bibago on Intellectual Conjunction and Human Happiness, Faith and Metaphysics according to a 15th century Jewish Averroist, 2015

The 15th century Jewish Aragonian thinker, Abraham Bibago treats conjunction in his two main works, Derekh Emunah (“The Way of Faith”) and Commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics. In the former, which explicitly interprets Biblical and Talmudic stories along philosophical lines, Bibago promotes a neo-Platonic intellectual emanation schema and boldly asserts that human happiness is attained through conjunction with higher intellects. In the Commentary, which primarily treats Aristotle’s Metaphysics and Averroes’ commentaries on it, Bibago gives an account of conjunction that does not necessarily fit with the intellectual conjunction of Derekh Emunah. Indeed, his remarks in the Commentary are much less decisive about human happiness, suggesting that Bibago qua philosopher is more open minded about the summum bonum than he is qua religious thinker.

Hippocrates' successful quadrature of the lune was one of the earliest achievements of Greek geometry. Our only source for the nature of Hippocrates' work is Simplicius, who comments on Artistotle's remark that the inference from the quadrature of the lune to the quadrature of the circle is an example of faulty reasoning. In this article two groups of Hebrew texts are translated and analyzed. The first come from mathematical treatises, and their contents show that materials similar to those cited by Simplicius were translated and read in the later medieval period. The second group comprises constructions found as comments to the Averroean corpus, and they attest to the existence of a more limited tradition preserving simple constructions that were necessary to the understanding of Averroes' commentaries on Aristotle. Levi ben Gerson's reconstruction of the quadrature is wholly original. La quadrature de la lunule, par Hippocrate, fut une des premières réalisations de la géométrie grècque. Notre seule source concernant l'oeuvre d'Hippocrate est Simplicius, qui commente une remarque d'Aristote, selon laquelle il est fautif de se servir de la quadrature de la lunule pour connaı̂tre la quadrature du cercle. Dans cet article nous traduisons et analysons deux ensembles de textes hebraı̈ques portant sur ce sujet. Un premier ensemble renferme des textes qui proviennent de traités mathématiques et qui, par leur contenu, indiquent que des matériaux s'apparentant à ce que cite Simplicius étaient connus au Moyen Âge. Le second ensemble comprend des textes qui sont insérés dans des commentaires des écrits d'Averroès: ils attestent l'existence d'une tradition, d'une portée plus limitée, qui conserve des constructions simples qui étaient nécessaires à la compréhension de certains passages des commentaires d'Averroès. La reconstruction de la quadrature de la lunule qu'offre Lévi ben Gershon est entièrement originale. La quadratura della lunula, risolta da Ippocrate, fu uno dei primi successi della geometria greca. L'unica fonte relativa all'opera di Ippocrate e un'annotazione di Simplicio, a commento di un'osservazione di Aristotele, secondo cui servirsi della quadratura della lunula per risolvere la quadratura del cerchio e un esempio di inferenza indebita. Nel presente articolo sono tradotti e analizzati due gruppi di testi ebraici relativi all'argomento. Il primo e desunto da trattati matematici, che monstrano come materiali simili a quelli impiegati da Simplico fossero noti in età medievale. Il secondo gruppo e costituito da testi inseriti nei commenti agli scritti di Averroe, che attestano l'esistenza di una tradizione più limitata, ma che ha conservato alcune construzioni semplici, necessarie alla comprensione di passi dei commenti di Averroe. Del tutto originale risulta la ricostruzione della quadratura della lunula proposta da Levi ben Gershon.

Our only source for the nature of Hippocrates' work is Simplicius, who comments on Artistotle's remark that the inference from the quadrature of the lune to the quadrature of the circle is an example of faulty reasoning. In this article two groups of Hebrew texts are translated and analyzed. The first come from mathematical treatises, and their contents show that materials similar to those cited by Simplicius were translated and read in the later medieval period. The second group comprises constructions found as comments to the Averroean corpus, and they attest to the existence of a more limited tradition preserving simple constructions that were necessary to the understanding of Averroes' commentaries on Aristotle. Levi ben Gerson's reconstruction of the quadrature is wholly original. La quadrature de la lunule, par Hippocrate, fut une des premi\u00e8res r\u00e9alisations de la g\u00e9om\u00e9trie gr\u00e8cque. Notre seule source concernant l'oeuvre d'Hippocrate est Simplicius, qui commente une remarque d'Aristote, selon laquelle il est fautif de se servir de la quadrature de la lunule pour conna\u0131\u0302tre la quadrature du cercle. Dans cet article nous traduisons et analysons deux ensembles de textes hebra\u0131\u0308ques portant sur ce sujet. Un premier ensemble renferme des textes qui proviennent de trait\u00e9s math\u00e9matiques et qui, par leur contenu, indiquent que des mat\u00e9riaux s'apparentant \u00e0 ce que cite Simplicius \u00e9taient connus au Moyen \u00c2ge. Le second ensemble comprend des textes qui sont ins\u00e9r\u00e9s dans des commentaires des \u00e9crits d'Averro\u00e8s: ils attestent l'existence d'une tradition, d'une port\u00e9e plus limit\u00e9e, qui conserve des constructions simples qui \u00e9taient n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 la compr\u00e9hension de certains passages des commentaires d'Averro\u00e8s. La reconstruction de la quadrature de la lunule qu'offre L\u00e9vi ben Gershon est enti\u00e8rement originale. La quadratura della lunula, risolta da Ippocrate, fu uno dei primi successi della geometria greca. L'unica fonte relativa all'opera di Ippocrate e un'annotazione di Simplicio, a commento di un'osservazione di Aristotele, secondo cui servirsi della quadratura della lunula per risolvere la quadratura del cerchio e un esempio di inferenza indebita. Nel presente articolo sono tradotti e analizzati due gruppi di testi ebraici relativi all'argomento. Il primo e desunto da trattati matematici, che monstrano come materiali simili a quelli impiegati da Simplico fossero noti in et\u00e0 medievale. Il secondo gruppo e costituito da testi inseriti nei commenti agli scritti di Averroe, che attestano l'esistenza di una tradizione pi\u00f9 limitata, ma che ha conservato alcune construzioni semplici, necessarie alla comprensione di passi dei commenti di Averroe. Del tutto originale risulta la ricostruzione della quadratura della lunula proposta da Levi ben Gershon.","btype":3,"date":"1996","language":"English","online_url":null,"doi_url":null,"ti_url":null,"categories":[{"id":19,"category_name":"Cosmology","link":"bib?categories[]=Cosmology"},{"id":8,"category_name":"Jewish Averroism","link":"bib?categories[]=Jewish Averroism"}],"authors":[{"id":612,"full_name":"Yitzhak Tzvi Langermann","role":1}],"works":[],"republication_of":null,"translation_of":null,"new_edition_of":null,"book":null,"booksection":null,"article":{"id":427,"journal_id":null,"journal_name":"Historia mathematica","volume":"23","issue":"1","pages":"31\u201353"}},"sort":["Medieval Hebrew Texts on the Quadrature of the Lune"]}
