Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra, poet, philosopher, and mathematician, was one of the outstanding personalities produced by medieval Jewry. His chief claim to fame, however, was for his commentary on the Bible. His explanations of Scripture have been printed in all major editions of the Hebrew Bible, and influenced other luminaries, such as Maimonides, Rabbi David Kimchi, Nahmanides, Ralbag, Abrarvanel, and all serious students of the Hebrew Bible, for whom his works are essential. Ibn Ezra's commentary on the first two Books of Psalms are now available in English for the first time, accompanied by a thorough annotation. Students of Scripture at all levels will find this a most valuable asset to their studies of Scripture and Jewish thought.

Industry Reviews

Rabbi Strickman has written an excellent, well-written and thoughtful book recuperating Maimonides as a medieval rationalist. Strickman's thoroughness, rabbinic expertise, and commitment to the rationalist streams within medieval Jewish philosophical tradition make this an outstanding work. We owe Rabbi Strickman a debt of thanks in the spirit of hakarat ha-tov (giving credit where credit is due) for working as a scholar, researcher, teacher, and rabbinic leader who has made in this book a positive contribution to the scholarly community, moving the state of knowledge along further and adding to our understanding of Maimonides in all of his complexity and greatness. --David Levy, Lander Institute for Women
