- AL-BAẒAK, MAẒLI'AḤ BEN ELIJAH IBN
- AL-BAẒAK, MAẒLI'AḤ BEN ELIJAH IBN (11th century),
dayyan in Sicily. Maẓli'aḥ was a pupil of hai gaon in
Pumbedita and later he apparently migrated to Sicily where he was
appointed dayyan. nathan b. jehiel , author of the
Arukh, was his pupil and it is quite likely that the
explanations of Arabic and Persian terms appearing in Nathan's work were
derived from his teacher. Maẓli'aḥ wrote a letter in Arabic to Samuel
ha-Nagid, concerning Hai Gaon, of which fragments only are extant. One
fragment has a commentary by Hai Gaon to Psalms 103:5, and in another it
is stated that Hai Gaon, with a view to seeking a correct interpretation
of Psalms 141:5, sent Maẓli'aḥ to the Nestorian patriarch, who showed
him the Syriac version. On a journey to Europe – or on some other
occasion – Maẓli'aḥ stopped over in Ereẓ Israel, when he acted as a
judge in a civil dispute in Ramleh.
