	Dunash - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Dunash Ben Labrat, grammarian and poet, belonged to the brilliant circle attracted to Cordova by IIasdai, and took a large share in promoting the Jewish "Golden Age" under the Moors in Andalusia.
		Dunash not only helped in the foundation of a school of scientific philology, but adapted Arabian metres to Hebrew verse, and thereby gave an impulse to the neo-Hebraic poetry, which reached its highest level in Spain.
		DUNASH IBN TAMIM was, like the preceding, a leader in the critical study of language among Arabic-speaking Jews.

	Informat.io on Dunash Ben Labrat
		Dunash ben Labrat (920-990) (Hebrew: דוֹנָש בֵּן לָבְרָט; Arabic: دناش بن لبراط) was a medieval Jewish commentator, poet, and grammarian of the Golden age of Jewish culture in Spain and a student of Rabbi Saadia Gaon.
		At the time, however, it opened him up to severe criticism, particularly among the students of Menahem ben Saruq, that he was corrupting the Hebrew language by introducing Arabic forms, and changing traditional biblical styles to conform to Arabic meter and rhyming schemes.
		Dunash is remembered as a poet and a grammarian who uncovered many of the major problems of Hebrew grammar.

	Dunash ben Labrat
		Dunash ben Labrat, often known as Rabbi Adonim Halevi (920-990) laid the foundations for the greatest post-biblical period of Hebrew poetry by expressing Jewish traditions in Arabic verse forms.
		Dunash was best known for his poetry — of which little unfortunately remains — but it was his religious and grammarian disputes that furnish our fragmentary biographical information.
		Dunash was born in Fès and probably served as a rabbi in the great city of learning, Cordoba.

		Nevertheless, many of the issues raised by Dunash have yet to be resolved today.

	Menahem ben Jacob ibn Saruq (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Menahem ben Jacob ibn Saruq, (SARUQ also spelled SARUK), was a Jewish lexicographer and poet who composed the first Hebrew-language dictionary, a lexicon of the Bible; earlier biblical dictionaries were written in Arabic and translated into Hebrew.
		Menachem ben Jacob was a tremendously influential Spanish Jew during the rise of Spanish Jewry.
		Dunash's attack provoked a counterattack by Menahem's pupils, one of whom, Yehuda ibn David Hayyuj, a significant Hebrew grammarian.

		He was a student of Dunash ben Labrat.
		Between 970 and 990 CE, Yehudi wrote a poetic responsum against the responsa of the students of Menachem ben Jacob ibn Saruk written in reply to Dunash's criticism of their teacher.
		Yehudi's work was composed like the responsa of Dunash and those of the students of Menachem: the first part was in metric form and was followed by rhymed prose serving as introduction to the second part, which contained explanations of meta-linguistic subjects in the poem.

		Dunash ben Labrat lived in Spain in the middle of the tenth century.
		He studied with Saadia Gaon and served as a rabbi, possibly in Cordoba at the same time that Menachem ben Jacob ibn Saruk, Hisdai ibn Shaprut's secretary, was working on his biblical dictionary.
		Both Menachem and Dunash were incorrect in their grammatical analyses because they assumed that some roots could be one or two letters.

		Dunash ben Labrat (920-990) was a medieval Jewish commentator, poet, and grammarian of the Golden age of Jewish culture in Spain and a student of Rabbi Saadia Gaon.
		These challenges were met by Yehudi ben Sheshet, one of Dunash's students, who wrote a work in defense of his master that bitterly attacked all of his detractors.
		The debates between Dunash and others were finally decided in the centuries after his death by Rabbeinu Tam, a grandson of Rashi, who attempted to judge between the two schools of thought, and by Rabbi Joseph Kimchi, father of the noted grammarian David Kimchi (RaDaK), who supported Dunash's positions.

	Rabbi Donash ben Labrat ZT"L (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Dunash Ben Labrat introduced Arabic poetry's secular genres and quantitative meters into Hebrew in the middle of the tenth century and set off a debate that split the Jewish intellectual community: Dunash was accused of desecrating the holy tongue with his importation of an alien poetic, and his work was attacked.
		Things turned nasty, and Dunash's primary rival, an older and more experienced court-poet named Menahem Ibn Saruq, fell out of favor with the principal Jewish patron of the day, Hasdai Ibn Shaprut, and was thrown into prison.
		The new spirit of rationalism and innovation took hold in Hasdai's court, which, in turn, was modeled on the Cordoba court of the Caliph 'Abd ar-Rahman III, where Hasdai served as a senior physician, customs director, and personal envoy for the caliph.

	Acidophilus notes \| 22:47
		Hayyuj was a pupil of Menahem ben Saruq, whom he later helped to defend against the attacks of Dunash ben Labrat and his followers.
		The weakness of Menahem's assertion that there are stems in Hebrew containing three letters, two letters, and one letter respectively was pointed out by Dunash; but, although the latter was on the road to a solution of the problem, it was left to Ḥayyuj to find the key.
		Hayyuj announced that all Hebrew stems consist of three letters, and maintained that when one of those letters was a "vowel letter," such a letter could be regarded as "concealed" in diverse ways in the various verbal forms.

	Menachem ben Jacob ibn Saruk
		He was a Jewish lexicographer and poet who composed the first Hebrew-language dictionary, a lexicon of the Bible; earlier biblical dictionaries were written in Arabic and translated into Hebrew.
		Shortly after the Machberet appeared, it was vehemently attacked by Dunash ben Labrat, who claimed that certain definitions were likely to lead the reader to erroneous interpretations of halachah and belief.
		Menachem himself did not reply to Dunash's criticisms, but three of Menachem's pupils, Isaac ibn Kapron, Isaac ibn Gikatilla, and Judah Hayyuj, took it upon themselves to defend their master.

	Rashbam's Commentary to the Torah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Rabbi Samuel ben Meir ("Rashbam" is an acronym of that name) belonged to the school of the "Tosafot" commentators to the Talmud.
		Rashbam was sensitive to issues of grammar (relying on the pioneering works of the Spanish grammarians Menahem ben Saruk and Dunash ben Labrat) and to the literary and rhetorical qualities of Biblical Hebrew.
		He was aware that his grandfather, Rashi, had followed a different approach, making extensive use of the Talmudic and midrashic interpretations.

	Rashi's Commentary to the Torah
		Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac (or: Shlomo Yitzhaki) is known by the acronym: RaSh"I. Rashi has been accepted by the entire Jewish world as the exegete par exellence, and he succeeded in completing commentaries to Judaism's most sacred texts, the Bible and the Babylonian Talmud.
		Rashi's commentary to the Torah was perhaps the first Hebrew book to be printed, and it is included in almost any edition of the Torah that is designed for traditional and synagogue use.
		He frequently cites the lexicographic and grammatical works of the Spanish Jewish scholars Menahem ben Saruk and Dunash ben Labrat.

	Hebrew Literature
		Famous scholars and authors of Hebrew literature in the Middle Ages included Aha of Shabcha, Saadia ben Joseph al-Fayumi, Dunash ben Tamim, Dunash ben Labrat, Gershom ben Judah, Al-Fasi, Solomon ben Judah Ibn Gabirol, Rashi, Judah ha-Levi, Abraham ben Meir Ibn Ezra, Maimonides, Immanuel ben Solomon, Isaac Abravanel, and Joseph ben Ephraim Caro.
		On the threshold of the transition from the old isolated life to a wider one was the poet Moses Hayyim Luzzatto (a contemporary of the Gaon of Vilna, Elijah ben Solomon) but the modern period of Hebrew literature really began with Moses Mendelssohn.
		While Nachman Krochmal and Shloime Ansky (Solomon Seinwel Rapoport) were contributing to biblical criticism and historical scholarship, writers such as Peretz (Peter) Smolenskin were devoting themselves to Haskalah, or literature of enlightenment, intended to shake the Jews of Central Europe from their medieval attitudes.

	Al-Andalus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		With the relative tolerance of Al-Andalus, and the decline of the previous center of Jewish thought in Babylonia, Al-Andalus became the center of Jewish intellectual endeavors.
		Poets and commentators like Judah Halevi (1086-1145) and Dunash ben Labrat (920-990) contributed to the cultural life of Al-Andalus, but the area was even more important to the development of Jewish philosophy.
		A stream of Jewish philosophers, cross-fertilizing with Muslim philosophers, (see Joint Jewish and Islamic Philosophies) culminated in the most important Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages, Maimonides (1135-1205), though he did not actually do any of his work in Al-Andalus, as, when he was 13, his family fled persecution by the Almohades.
