Topic: Dunash ibn Tamim

	Dunash - LoveToKnow 1911
		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 IBN TAMIM was, like the preceding, a leader in the critical study of language among Arabic-speaking Jews.
		Professor Bacher says of him: "In the history of Hebrew philology, Ibn Tamim ranks as one of the first representatives of the systematic comparison of Hebrew and Arabic." The philological researches of the 10th century were closely associated with the Spanish-Moorish culture of the period.

		Dunash wrote an exhaustive criticism of it, composed partly in the metrical verse introduced by him, and dedicated this comprehensive and logically elaborated polemical treatise to Ḥasdai ibn Shaprut, Menahem's patron.
		That Menahem, as Dunash intentionally emphasizes, should have made the respected gaon Saadia the subject of unjustifiable criticism, and that he should have expressed opinions which placed Saadia in the category of the founder of the hated sect of the Karaites—these were the causes which especially roused the resentment of Ḥasdai against him.
		Dunash was probably too proud to reply to this attack in person, and therefore committed the task to his pupil Jehudi b.

	DUNASH IBN TAMIM (Jewish Encyclopedia) - BibleWiki
		The name "Dunash," for which Abraham ibn Ezra substitutes the Hebrew "Adonim," is probably derived from the Latin "dominus," and not from the Arabian "dhu nas" (lord of mankind), concerning which there is nothing to show that it was used as a proper name.
		Hence the statement of Abraham ibn Ezra to the effect that Ibn Tamim came from the East—to be more exact, from Babylonia, or Bagdad (on one occasion he calls him Mizraḥi, on another Babli)—does not deserve consideration beside that of Moses ibn Ezra, who calls him a native of Kairwan.
		The statement of Ibn Ezra has been interpreted as signifying that the family of Ibn Tamim came from Bagdad; but it is possible that Abraham ibn Ezra has erroneously transferred the appellation "Babylonian" from Ibn Labraṭ to Ibn Tamim.

	Science Fair Projects - Dunash ibn Tamim
		Dunash ibn Tamim was a Jewish tenth century scholar, and a pioneer of scientific study among Arabic-speaking Jews.
		In several of these manuscripts Ibn Tamim is expressly referred to as the author; in one instance he is named again, but with his teacher, while in another Jacob ben Nissim is named, who lived in Kairwan at the end of the tenth century.
		Danan (end of fifteenth century), according to which Muslims believe that Ibn Tamim was a convert to Islam, is erroneous, and is probably due to the fact that Ibn Tamim is often quoted by Muslim writers.

		His pupil, Dunash ibn Tamim, was one of the first to introduce the comparative study of Hebrew and Arabic as a fruitful source for Bible exegesis.

	JUDEO-ARABIC LITERATURE, writings by Jews in Arabic, generally with Jewish coloring
		Judah ibn Gabirol (1021–1058), was drawn to the views of the Muslim thinker Ibn Masarra (883–931), who was strongly influenced by pseudo-Empedocles and who taught the doctrine of universal matter and universal soul.
		In Ibn Gabirol's view, since matter is the subject, it is logically prior to form, which specifies it; nevertheless, both universal matter and universal form are the sources of all being.
		Ibn Kammuna's method is to present the principles of each faith in a general essay, and then to list questions and objections, followed by replies of the adherents of the particular faith.

		It may even be said that this work had a greater influence on the development of the Jewish mind than almost any other book after the completion of the Talmud.
		The Aristotelian Saadia, the Neoplatonist Ibn Gabirol, the speculative cabalists of France, and the mystics of Germany deemed themselves justified in deriving their doctrines from this remarkable work, although it often suffered the same treatment as other sacred books, since its commentators read into it far more than the text implied.
		The "Sefer Yeẓirah" is exceedingly difficult to understand on account of its obscure, half-mystical style, and the difficulty is rendered still greater by the lack of a critical edition, the present text being admittedly much interpolated and altered.

		The supposition that the fate of a man could be dependent upon the constellations is ridiculed by him; he argues that such a theory would rob life of purpose and would make man a slave of destiny.

		It is interesting to note that the origin of SY is also a subject of scholarly debate.[8] Perhaps by viewing Saadia’s opinions regarding the origin of SY through the lens of modern scholarship we may glean new insight into his own reasons for writing a commentary to the text.
		Though authors of other commentaries on SY written in the late ninth century, such as Dunash ben Tamim, attributed authorship of the text to Abraham,[9] Saadia’s position was decidedly different.
		Interestingly in his poem Keter Malchut (#12), thought to be influenced by SY as well, Ibn Gvirol equates the teli with the constellation Draco.
