	How Nachmanides Rebuilt Jerusalem
		Nachmanides, also known as Ramban (an acronym of Rabbi Moses ben Nachman), was born in Spain in 1195.

	The Ramban --- Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman --- Nachmanides
		Nachmanides (Moses the son of Nachman, Ramban, 1195-1270), was one of the earliest writers to effect a reconciliation between the French and the Spanish schools of Jewish literature.
		Nachmanides' adherence to the words of the earlier authorities may be due to piety, or the influence of the northern French Jewish school of thought.
		Nachmanides died after having passed the age of seventy, and his remains were interred at Haifa, by the grave of Yechiel of Paris.
