Product Description
In 1147, while residing in Verona, Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra composed a treatise on the Jewish calendar. He was in part motivated by those who denied the validity of the fixed Jewish calendar. They claimed that the fixed calendar was in conflict with Scripture and had no basis in Biblical law. Ibn Ezra demonstrates that Scripture is purposefully vague on how the Jewish calendar should be constructed, leaving it to the Rabbis to develop such a calendar.
The original Hebrew treatise, Sefer ha`ibbur, was printed only one time (in 1874), utilizing a defective manuscript, and was quite unintelligible. The current Hebrew version is based on seven manuscripts and is accompanied by an annotated English translation and extensive appendices.
