IBN BILIA, DAVID BEN YOM TOV
- IBN BILIA, DAVID BEN YOM TOV
- IBN BILIA, DAVID BEN YOM TOV (first half of 14th
century), Portuguese Hebrew scholar, translator, philosopher, exegete,
and poet. Ibn Bilia wrote Me'or Enayim, a commentary on the
Pentateuch quoted by Samuel Zarza, based upon his own research, with
magical and astrological elements, of which only a fragment has been
published. In his Ta'amei ha-Otiyyot he explains certain
biblical letters in a philosophical-allegorical way.
Ha-Shi'urim also has allegoric commentaries to the Bible
beside philosophical sections and a philosophical poem. In addition, he
wrote books on medicine, astrology, logic, polemics (Ma'amar Magen
David), and theology. He translated from Latin a work on the skin
of snakes by Johannes Paulinus. Of his works, only two have been
printed: a treatise on the 13 principles of Judaism, called Yesodot
ha-Maskil (in the anthology Divrei Ḥakhamim, edited by
R. Eleazar Ashkenazi, Metz, 1849), and a composition, "Derekh
La'asot Ḥaruzim," published by N. Allony, containing among other
things, a list of Hebrew meters with illustrations taken chiefly from
his own poems.
