General note
| This is the only surviving manuscript of the Arabic original of ibn Waqqār's treatise in which he attempts to reconcile philosophy and astrology with the revealed law, or more exactly, with the religious tenets of Judaism which he identifies completely with the Kabbalah. Cf. G. Scholem, ספרו הערבי של יוסף ן' וקאר על הקבלה והפילוסופיה "KS" xx (1943/4), pp. 153-162. G. Vajda, "Recherches sur la philosophie et la Kabbale dans la pensée juive du moyen age" (Paris 1962), pp. 115-297, 385-91. Cf. Vat. ebr. 1971. |
