"Bibliographia Gersonideana: an annotated list of writings by and about R. Levi ben Gershom": p. [367]-414
Includes index
Description and Table of Contents
Description
R. Levi ben Gershom (Gersonides, 1288-1344) is one of the greatest and most original figures of Medieval Jewish thought. He wrote numerous works in philosophy, science and biblical exegesis. Some of his scientific works, most notably his highly innovative Astronomy, were translated from Hebrew into Latin and could thus reach non-Jewish scholars.
The twelve studies collected in this bilingual volume (English and French in equal parts) offer for the first time a comprehensive overview and assessment of Gersonides' work in astronomy, mathematics, logic, natural science, and psychology.
Gersonides' contributions are analyzed within the context of contemporary philosophy and science in Hebrew, Arabic, and Latin. New light is also shed on the reception of Gersonides' work within European science.
The volume includes a very extensive bibliography of writings by and about Gersonides.
From the contents:
Part I: Gersonides' Astronomy: Bernard R. Goldstein, Jose Luis Mancha, Jose Chabas, Henri Hugonnard-Roche, Guy Beaujouan.
Part II: Gersonides' Work in Mathematics: Tony Levy, Karine Chemla, Serge Pahaut.
Part III: Gersonides' Science in Its Relations to His Philosophy and Theology: Herbert A. Davidson, Tzvi Y. Langermann, Charles H. Manekin, Amos Funkenstein, Gad Freudenthal.
