a Spanish Jew of great learning, and a philosopher of the school of Maimonides, was born about 1228. Besides a work on The Relation of Religion and Philosophy, he wrote, in 1263, המבקש, the Inquirer (printed at Amsterdam, 1779). Later he wrote ס הנפש , Psychology (Amst. 1835), in which he follows the Arabic school of Aristotle's disciples שלמות המעשים 8, Ethics; and in 1280 a work as the philosophical parts of Morehe, מורה המורה (printed at Pressburg, 1837). We mention also קנאית מנחת, a work written in 1290 in defense of Maimonides. — Jost, Gesch. d. Judenthums u. seiner Sekten, 3:27.
