Abstract

This article presents an edition of a hitherto unidentified set of commented Hebrew excerpts from Thomas Aquinas’s Sentencia libri De anima. Preserved in the manuscript Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Mich. Add. 25, and attributed to an otherwise unknown Jewish scholar named Israel ben Abraham, the excerpts reproduce the Latin text in different degrees of faithfulness to the original. They do not follow the structure of Aquinas’s commentary and seem to have been summarized and rearranged by the translator to reflect his own interests rooted in the study of Jewish philosophical texts, especially the works of Maimonides and Moses Narboni. In the introduction to the edition, I discuss the context of the excerpts as well as the identity of the translator, including the possibility that he was a Christian convert to Judaism.

以色列本·亚伯拉罕：阿奎那的阿什肯纳兹翻译家？

这篇文章介绍了一个迄今为止尚未确定的版本，从托马斯·阿奎那的《动物的图书馆》中摘录了一组评论的希伯来语摘录。手稿保存于牛津大学，牛津大学图书馆，密歇根大学。添加25，并归因于一个不知名的犹太学者，名叫以色列本亚伯拉罕，摘录复制拉丁文本在不同程度上忠实于原文。它们没有遵循阿奎那注释的结构，似乎已经被译者总结和重新安排，以反映他自己的兴趣，植根于对犹太哲学文本的研究，特别是迈蒙尼德和摩西·纳博尼的作品。在该版本的介绍中，我讨论了节选的背景以及译者的身份，包括他是一名皈依犹太教的基督徒的可能性。

期刊介绍： Zutot: Perspectives on Jewish Culture aims to fill a gap that has become more and more conspicuous among the wealth of scholarly periodicals in the field of Jewish Studies. Whereas existing journals provide space to medium and large sized articles, they neglect the small but poignant contributions, which may be as important as the extended, detailed study. The Zutot serves as a platform for small but incisive contributions, and provides them with a distinct context. The substance of these contributions is derived from larger perspectives and, though not always presented in an exhaustive way, will have an impact on contemporary discussions. The Zutot covers Jewish culture in its broadest sense, i.e. encompassing various academic disciplines—literature, languages and linguistics, philosophy, art, sociology, politics and history—and reflects binary oppositions such as religious and secular, high and low, written and oral, male and female culture.
