Ibn Gabirol, Selomoh b. Yehudah

"(hebreo: שלמה בן יהודה אבן גבירול), Sulaymān ibn Yaḥyà ibn Ŷabīrūl (árabe: سليمان بن يحيى بن جبيرول) o Avicebrón, como era conocido por los latinos, fue un filósofo y poeta hispanojudío andalusí nacido en Málaga hacia 1021 y muerto en Valencia hacia 1058. Probablemente haya sido el más grande neoplatónico de la tradición filosófica medieval árabe, y posiblemente haya sido también el más grande poeta medieval hebreo."

"Solomon ibn Gabirol (alt. Solomon ben Judah) (Hebrew: שלמה בן יהודה אבן גבירול Shlomo Ben Yehuda ibn Gabirol, pronounced [ʃlɵ.mɵ bɛn jɛ.ˈhuː.də ˈɪ.bn ˌgə.bi.ˈrɒːl]; Arabic: أبوأيوب سليمان بن يحيى بن جبيرول Abu Ayyub Sulayman bin Yahya bin Jabrirul, pronounced [æ.ˈbuː æy.ˈyuːb ˌsu.læj.ˈmæːnɪ bnɪ ˌjæ'hyæː bnɪ dʒæ.biː.'ruːl]) was an 11th-century Andalusian poet and Jewish philosopher with a Neo-Platonic bent. He published over a hundred poems, as well as works of biblical exegesis, philosophy, ethics. and satire. One source credits Ibn Gabirol with creating a golem, possibly female, for household chores. In the 19th century it was discovered that medieval translators had Latinised Gabirol's name to Avicebron and had translated his work on Jewish Neo-Platonic philosophy into a Latin form that had in the intervening centuries been highly regarded as a work of Islamic or Christian scholarship. As such, Ibn Gabirol is well known in the history of philosophy for the doctrine that all things, including soul and intellect, are composed of matter and form ("Universal Hylomorphism"), and for his emphasis on Divine Will."
