![]() Ḳalonymus ben Ḳalonymus ben MeirḲalonymus ben Ḳalonymus ben Meir (also romanized as Qalonymos ben Qalonymos, born Arles 1286 – died after 1328) was a Provençal Jewish philosopher and translator. He studied philosophy and rabbinical literature at Salonica, under the direction of Senior Astruc de Noves and Moses ben Solomon of Beaucaire. He also studied medicine, although he seems never to have practiced it. He was from a prominent and distinguished Provençal Jewish family. The father of Kalonymus and Kalonymus himself each bore the title "Nasi" (president). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalonymus_ben_Kalonymus |
