MOSES HA-KOHEN OF TORDESILLAS
- MOSES HA-KOHEN OF TORDESILLAS
- MOSES HA-KOHEN OF TORDESILLAS (second half of 14th
century), rabbi born in Tordesillas, Spain. Moses experienced the
terrible sufferings caused during the civil war in Castile, 1366–69. He
moved to Avila and was evidently appointed rabbi of the congregation
there. Moses represented the Jewish side in the religious
disputation ordered to be held in Avila in 1375. There were four
sessions and Moses apparently emerged triumphant. After engaging
successfully in an additional debate held with a pupil of
abner of burgos , he committed his arguments to writing in his
still-unpublished work Ezer ha-Emunah.
