MENAHEM BEN MICHAEL BEN JOSEPH
- MENAHEM BEN MICHAEL BEN JOSEPH
- MENAHEM BEN MICHAEL BEN JOSEPH, medieval Karaite scholar. He
was author of a Hebrew polemical epistle in verse addressed to "Akylas
the Proselyte, in care of Saadiah
the Rabbanite," dealing with the laws of slaughtering. S.P.
Pinsker , who first published the poem, assumed that it was directed
against saadiah gaon and that therefore the author must have lived
in the first half of the tenth century. His vocabulary, however, is that
of a Byzantine Karaite of a later date, presumably the 12th
century, and he is very likely identical with Menahem b. Michael, the
author of several hymns included in the Karaite liturgy.
