Translating Averroes into Hebrew: Studies in Jewish History and Culture, cartea 88/6

Michael Engel, Margherita Mantovani
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 dec 2026
This volume explores how language shapes and influences theological and philosophical doctrines through a specific historical case: the role of terminological choices in the Hebrew translation and transmission of the works of the twelfth-century Muslim philosopher Abū al-Walīd Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad Ibn Rushd, known in the Latin West as Averroes. It examines how particular terminological decisions can affect the overall meaning of a philosophical text or translation, how different terminological strategies serve to distinguish and define intellectual cultures, and why careful attention to terminology is essential for contemporary scholars reconstructing the intellectual history and cultural environments of medieval Jewish thought. Readers interested in Jewish philosophy, philosophical terminology, or, more broadly, the relationship between language, philosophy, and theology will find this volume especially valuable.
