Joseph ibn Shem-Tov
Joseph ben Shem-Tov ibn Shem-Tov (died 1480) was a prolific Judæo-Spanish writer born in Castile. He lived in various cities of Spain: Medina del Campo de Leon (1441); Alcalá de Henares (1451); and Segovia (1454).
Though it is not known precisely what office he held at court, he occupied a position which brought him in contact with distinguished Christian scholars. According to the custom of the time, he held public disputations with them in the presence of the court; this probably led him to study the polemical literature of the Jews. In the preface to his commentary on Profiat Duran's Al-Tehi ka-Aboteka, he recounts a disputation with a Christian scholar concerning the doctrine of the Trinity. He seems to have elaborated this disputation and to have used it later in various anti-Christian writings. In 1452 he was sent by the Prince of Asturia, Don Enrique, to Segovia to prevent an outbreak of popular rage at Easter against the Jews. He speaks occasionally in his writings of great sufferings which drove him from place to place, and of passing through a severe illness. Graetz (Gesch. viii. 422) has discovered, from a quotation in Joseph Jaabez's Or ha-Ḥayyim, that Ibn Shem-Ṭob died a martyr. The year of his passing was 1480.

Yehuda Halper, "The Two Socrateses of Medieval Jewish Doxography"
The 10th colloquium Yehuda Halper "Was Socrates a Wise, Ascetic Monotheist or a Vocal Skeptic? The Two Socrateses of Medieval Jewish Doxography” Abstract: From the death of Philo of Alexandria in the 1st century C.E. until the dissemination of Marsilio Ficino’s Latin translations at the end of the 15th century, we have no records of Jews reading Plato’s dialogues. If they encountered Plato in Arabic or Latin translation, they make no admission to having read his works. Medieval Jews certainly did not read Xenophon or Aristophanes. Still, they did occasionally encounter Socrates, primarily through doxographical literature, i.e., sentences, anecdotes, and aphorisms that describe or are attributed to Socrates. These doxographical sources were part of and derivative from a robust Arabic wisd...

Maimonides: The Revered & Controversial Sephardic Rabbi | The Jewish Story | Unpacked
Every day, tens of thousands of students study the Mishneh Torah, The Guide for the Perplexed, and dozens of medical works written by Rambam, also known as Maimonides, one of the most famous Jewish scholars of all time. Born in 1138 in Muslim-ruled Spain, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon excelled in Torah study. Life for Sephardic Jews flourished in many ways under Islamic rule. However, after the Almohad Caliphate conquered Cordoba, his family, like many Spanish Jews, was forced to flee Spain. After moving throughout North Africa, they settled in Egypt in 1168. After the death of his brother, Maimonides chose to become a doctor to support his family. He made great contributions to the medical field, but even greater ones to religion. Following in the footsteps of Rabbi Saadia Gaon, the Rambam’s ...

The Birth of Islam: Muhammad and the Jews | The Jewish Story | Unpacked
New channel alert https://youtube.com/@todayunpacked - In 610 CE, Muhammad had revelatory visions in a cave in Medina, revelations that would later make up the Quran and the commandments of Islam. Meanwhile, the Jews of the Arabian Peninsula were finally living in relative safety after years of tortuous oppression by the Byzantine Christians. Muhammad was forced to flee from Mecca to Medina, where Jewish tribes who had lived there for generations were more accepting of his monotheistic beliefs. In fact, Muhammad and his followers even adopted many Jewish customs. However, the Jews did not accept Muhammad’s claims to prophecy and things took a negative turn between the early Muslims and the Jews.

The birth of Jesus is mentioned overtly in the Quran - for example, in Q 19:16-30. In these mentions, key details are different from the biblical account. But, that is not the focus of this video.

The 10th colloquium
Yehuda Halper
"Was Socrates a Wise, Ascetic Monotheist or a Vocal
Skeptic? The Two Socrateses of Medieval Jewish Doxography”
Abstract:
From the death of Philo of Alexandria in the 1st century C.E. until the dissemination of Marsilio Ficino’s Latin translations at the end of the 15th century, we have no records of Jews reading Plato’s dialogues. If they encountered Plato in Arabic or Latin translation, they make no admission to having read his works. Medieval Jews certainly did not read Xenophon or Aristophanes. Still, they did occasionally encounter Socrates, primarily through doxographical literature, i.e., sentences, anecdotes, and aphorisms that describe or are attributed to Socrates. These doxographical sources were part of and derivative from a robust Arabic wisdom literature which drew on various Greek, Persian, and Syriac compilations of wisdom literature. While such literature generally combined depictions of Socrates from various sources, Jewish accounts in both Hebrew and Arabic present two separate, even incompatible views of Socrates. So distinct are these views that that we may even speak of two “Socrateses.” The best known of these Socrateses to medieval Jews is the least recognizable to the modern reader: he is a wise, ascetic, monotheist, who dispenses unquestioning and unquestioned advice in memorable proverbs and maxims. This is the Socrates we find in, e.g., Solomon Ibn Gabirol (d. ~1057-1070), Moses Ibn Ezra (d. 1138), Judah Al-Ḥarizi (d. 1225), Shem Ṭob Falaquera (d. 1290), Moses Nahmanides (d. 1270), Joseph Kaspi (d. 1345), Moses Narboni (d. after 1362), and Joseph Albo (d. 1444). The other Socrates, far less known in the Middle Ages than the first is skeptical of theology and divine law, while at the same time relentlessly inquiring into the divine, human ethics, and the relationship between them. We find this Socrates in Judah Halevi’s Kuzari as well as Hebrew translations Al-Farabi and Averroes, using quotations deriving indirectly from Plato’s Apology. While both Socrateses appear in similar kinds of statements or anecdotes, Jewish authors view him only in one of these two ways: either as a wise, ascetic monotheist or as a vocal skeptic. Never in Jewish literature before Ficino, in Arabic or in Hebrew, is he depicted as a combination of the two, e.g., as an ascetic skeptic or even as a skeptical monotheist.

Although he is revered as one of the most brilliant Jewish minds today, Maimonides was not free from critique.

- In 610 CE, Muhammad had revelatory visions in a cave in Medina, revelations that would later make up the Quran and the commandments of Islam. Meanwhile, the Jews of the Arabian Peninsula were finally living in relative safety after years of tortuous oppression by the Byzantine Christians.
Muhammad was forced to flee from Mecca to Medina, where Jewish tribes who had lived there for generations were more accepting of his monotheistic beliefs. In fact, Muhammad and his followers even adopted many Jewish customs. However, the Jews did not accept Muhammad’s claims to prophecy and things took a negative turn between the early Muslims and the Jews.
As Muhammad’s followers continued to conquer much of the Middle East and North Africa, the Jews in these lands were given “dhimmi” status. This meant that if they paid the annual tax and kept their heads down, they could generally live without fear. And while the system occasionally broke down, this relative freedom enabled a flourishing of Jewish thought and set the stage for some of Judaism’s most influential scholars and philosophers.

New channel alert https://youtube.com/@todayunpacked
- In 610 CE, Muhammad had revelatory visions in a cave in Medina, revelations that would later make up the Quran and the commandments of Islam. Meanwhile, the Jews of the Arabian Peninsula were finally living in relative safety after years of tortuous oppression by the Byzantine Christians.
Muhammad was forced to flee from Mecca to Medina, where Jewish tribes who had lived there for generations were more accepting of his monotheistic beliefs. In fact, Muhammad and his followers even adopted many Jewish customs. However, the Jews did not accept Muhammad’s claims to prophecy and things took a negative turn between the early Muslims and the Jews.
As Muhammad’s followers continued to conquer much of the Middle East and North Africa, the Jews in these lands were given “dhimmi” status. This meant that if they paid the annual tax and kept their heads down, they could generally live without fear. And while the system occasionally broke down, this relative freedom enabled a flourishing of Jewish thought and set the stage for some of Judaism’s most influential scholars and philosophers.

The 10th colloquium
Yehuda Halper
"Was Socrates a Wise, Ascetic Monotheist or a Vocal
Skeptic? The Two Socrateses of Medieval Jewish Doxography”
Abstract:
From the death of Philo of Alexandria in the 1st century C.E. until the dissemination of Marsilio Ficino’s Latin translations at the end of the 15th century, we have no records of Jews reading Plato’s dialogues. If they encountered Plato in Arabic or Latin translation, they make no admission to having read his works. Medieval Jews certainly did not read Xenophon or Aristophanes. Still, they did occasionally encounter Socrates, primarily through doxographical literature, i.e., sentences, anecdotes, and aphorisms that describe or are attributed to Socrates. These doxographical sources were part of and derivative from a robust Arabic wisdom literature which drew on various Greek, Persian, and Syriac compilations of wisdom literature. While such literature generally combined depictions of Socrates from various sources, Jewish accounts in both Hebrew and Arabic present two separate, even incompatible views of Socrates. So distinct are these views that that we may even speak of two “Socrateses.” The best known of these Socrateses to medieval Jews is the least recognizable to the modern reader: he is a wise, ascetic, monotheist, who dispenses unquestioning and unquestioned advice in memorable proverbs and maxims. This is the Socrates we find in, e.g., Solomon Ibn Gabirol (d. ~1057-1070), Moses Ibn Ezra (d. 1138), Judah Al-Ḥarizi (d. 1225), Shem Ṭob Falaquera (d. 1290), Moses Nahmanides (d. 1270), Joseph Kaspi (d. 1345), Moses Narboni (d. after 1362), and Joseph Albo (d. 1444). The other Socrates, far less known in the Middle Ages than the first is skeptical of theology and divine law, while at the same time relentlessly inquiring into the divine, human ethics, and the relationship between them. We find this Socrates in Judah Halevi’s Kuzari as well as Hebrew translations Al-Farabi and Averroes, using quotations deriving indirectly from Plato’s Apology. While both Socrateses appear in similar kinds of statements or anecdotes, Jewish authors view him only in one of these two ways: either as a wise, ascetic monotheist or as a vocal skeptic. Never in Jewish literature before Ficino, in Arabic or in Hebrew, is he depicted as a combination of the two, e.g., as an ascetic skeptic or even as a skeptical monotheist.

Quote about Yitzhak Ha Sangari
“Shem Tov's work was cited by Judah Moscato in his work Kol Yehuda. If the medieval sources are to be believed, Yitzhak was a famous rabbi of the Middle Ages. A learned man, he was versed in Arabic as well as Hebrew and Aramaic. D. M. Dunlop tentatively identified him with the region of Sangaros, in western Anatolia (not far from the ancient site of Troy).
Yitzhak's historicity is difficult to determine. A great deal of discussion among scholars has not yet conclusively established when or even if he lived, nor are any details of his ministry among the Khazars given in the Khazar Correspondence or the Schechter Letter. In some Hebrew works he is referred to as Yitzhak al-Mangari.”

Every day, tens of thousands of students study the Mishneh Torah, The Guide for the Perplexed, and dozens of medical works written by Rambam, also known as Maimonides, one of the most famous Jewish scholars of all time.
Born in 1138 in Muslim-ruled Spain, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon excelled in Torah study. Life for Sephardic Jews flourished in many ways under Islamic rule. However, after the Almohad Caliphate conquered Cordoba, his family, like many Spanish Jews, was forced to flee Spain. After moving throughout North Africa, they settled in Egypt in 1168. After the death of his brother, Maimonides chose to become a doctor to support his family.
He made great contributions to the medical field, but even greater ones to religion. Following in the footsteps of Rabbi Saadia Gaon, the Rambam’s unique mind explored Jewish theology alongside Islamic and Greek philosophy. Although he is revered as one of the most brilliant Jewish minds today, Maimonides was not free from critique. However,this didn’t stop him from creating some of the most read Jewish texts in history.

- In 610 CE, Muhammad had revelatory visions in a cave in Medina, revelations that would later make up the Quran and the commandments of Islam. Meanwhile, the Jews of the Arabian Peninsula were finally living in relative safety after years of tortuous oppression by the Byzantine Christians.
Muhammad was forced to flee from Mecca to Medina, where Jewish tribes who had lived there for generations were more accepting of his monotheistic beliefs. In fact, Muhammad and his followers even adopted many Jewish customs. However, the Jews did not accept Muhammad’s claims to prophecy and things took a negative turn between the early Muslims and the Jews.
As Muhammad’s followers continued to conquer much of the Middle East and North Africa, the Jews in these lands were given “dhimmi” status. This meant that if they paid the annual tax and kept their heads down, they could generally live without fear. And while the system occasionally broke down, this relative freedom enabled a flourishing of Jewish thought and set the stage for some of Judaism’s most influential scholars and philosophers.

The birth of Jesus is mentioned overtly in the Quran - for example, in Q 19:16-30. In these mentions, key details are different from the biblical account. But, that is not the focus of this video.
In this special video of Variant Quran, recorded December 26, 2020, Daniel Brubaker gives Christmas greetings and discusses some existing research on the Quran that is thematically related to the birth account of Jesus. After briefly discussing some books and resources (see links below), he moves to some personal reflections on the biblical material on the Nativity and the meaning of Christmas.

Joseph ibn Shem-Tov
Joseph ben Shem-Tov ibn Shem-Tov (died 1480) was a prolific Judæo-Spanish writer born in Castile. He lived in various cities of Spain: Medina del Campo de Leon (1441); Alcalá de Henares (1451); and Segovia (1454).
Though it is not known precisely what office he held at court, he occupied a position which brought him in contact with distinguished Christian scholars. According to the custom of the time, he held public disputations with them in the presence of the court; this probably led him to study the polemical literature of the Jews. In the preface to his commentary on Profiat Duran's Al-Tehi ka-Aboteka, he recounts a disputation with a Christian scholar concerning the doctrine of the Trinity. He seems to have elaborated this disputation and to have used it later in various anti-Christian writings. In 1452 he was sent by the Prince of Asturia, Don Enrique, to Segovia to prevent an outbreak of popular rage at Easter against the Jews. He speaks occasionally in his writings of great sufferings which drove him from place to place, and of passing through a severe illness. Graetz (Gesch. viii. 422) has discovered, from a quotation in Joseph Jaabez's Or ha-Ḥayyim, that Ibn Shem-Ṭob died a martyr. The year of his passing was 1480.
