Ḳalonymus b. Ḳalonymus ben Meir

Ḳalonymus b. Ḳalonymus ben Meir (Hebrew: קלונימוס ב׳ קלונימוס בן מאיר, also romanized as Kalonymous or Qalonymos) (1286 – after 1328), born in Arles, was a Provençal Jewish philosopher, poet, and translator from a prominent and distinguished Provençal Jewish family. (The father of Kalonymus and Kalonymus himself each bore the title Nasi/Prince.) They studied philosophy and rabbinical literature at Salonica, under the direction of Senior Astruc de Noves and Moses ben Solomon of Beaucaire. Ḳalonymus also studied medicine, although they seem never to have practiced it.
