ALBALIA, BARUCH BEN ISAAC
- ALBALIA, BARUCH BEN ISAAC
- ALBALIA, BARUCH BEN ISAAC (1077–1126), Spanish judge and head
of a yeshivah in Córdoba; son of isaac albalia . Born in Seville,
he went to Lucena after his father's death (when he was 17 years old) in
fulfillment of his father's express wish, in order to get R. Isaac
Alfasi to drop the hostility he had long harbored toward his father,
and to be accepted as a student in Alfasi's academy. He studied there
nine years, together with joseph ibn migash . After the death of
Alfasi, Albalia became judge and head of the yeshivah in Córdoba. Among
his many disciples was his nephew abraham ibn daud . Albalia was
well versed in Greco-Arabic philosophy. Among his friends, he counted
judah halevi , and Moses Ibn Ezra. There is a play on words in one
of Halevi's poems (Divan, ed. by H. Brody, 1 (1935), 120):
"His name is 'Baruch' (blessed), and he, like his name, is blessed,
and all who bless themselves with his name, are, in turn, blessed,"
apparently alluding to Albalia and testifying to his influence on
Spanish Jewish intellectuals. On his death Moses Ibn Ezra eulogized him
in a poem beginning with the verse: "Einot Tehom Hemmah
ve-lo-Einayim" (Shirei ha-Ḥol., ed. by H. Brody (1935),
92) and Judah Halevi did the same in a poem beginning "Mar la-Am
Yikre'u Aẓarah" (Selected Poems, ed. Brody (1946), with
English translation, 82).
