Manuscript, exegesis of Ibn Rushd (Averroës) to Aristotle’s Ehtics, with Commentary on the exegesis. Oriental writing, [17th Century].
“With the help of G-d I begin an exposition of the ethics of Ibn Rushd with the exposition of the theologian Thomas Aquinas”. [The commentary is attributed to the Christian philosopher Thomas Aquinas in several manuscripts, but it has already been proved that this is incorrect. See Steinschneider, HU, Pages 218-219].
Averroës (called Ibn Rushd in Hebrew), a famous philosopher and physician, who was active in the 12th century in Muslim Spain. He greatly influenced Medieval European philosophy. All his important works were translated into Hebrew and he had much influence on the sages of Israel. The Rambam in one of his letters writes about him: “I have received recently all that Ibn Rushd wrote on the books of Aristotle, and I have seen that his explanations are correct…”
The manuscript ends in the middle of a subject. 98 written pages. 30 cm., wide margins. General condition good. Tears in a number of pages, as a result of deterioration of the ink. New binding.
