  1. Aaron ben Jacob ha-Kohen

    Aaron ben Jacob ha Kohen was a Proven al rabbi , one of a family of scholars living at Narbonne , France not Lunel , as David Conforte and others say , and who suffered the expulsion of the Jews in 1306. He emigrated to Majorca , and there, some time before 1327, composed a ritual work of great merit bearing the title Or ot ayyim The Paths of Life . The first part deals chiefly with the laws concerning the daily prayers, the Shabbat Sabbath , and the festivals, and was published in Florence in 1752. The work is a compilation of Talmudic laws and discussions rather than an original system, and was conceived on a plan similar to Jacob ben Asher s great code, the Arba ah urim, which appeared soon afterward and superseded it as a ritual guide on account of its more practical character. The Or ot ayyim, however, contains some ethical and doctrinal chapters which are not found in Jacob ben Asher s code. Aaron ha Kohen was especially fond of mystic lore and of rabbinical discussion. A less strict legalist than his more famous contemporary, his Or ot ayyim is of greater value to the student of literature than to one who seeks practical decisions. An abridgment of the work, under the name of Kol Bo , a thesaurus, compiled most probably by Shemariah ben Simhah , a German scholar according to others by Joseph ben Tobiah of Provence , came into common use, replacing the original work.

  1. Moses ha-Kohen de Tordesillas

    Moses ha Kohen de Tordesillas was a Spanish Jewish controversialist of the fourteenth century. An attempt was made to convert him to Christianity by force. Despite persecution, he remained true to his convictions, although he was robbed of his possessions and reduced to poverty. He was chosen rabbi by the community of vila, Spain vila . He was compelled to carry on a religious debate, about 1372, with the convert John of Valladolid , in the presence of Christians and Muslims. Moses was acquainted with the Christian sources, and refute in four debates the arguments of his opponent, who tried to prove the Christian dogmas from the Scriptures. Soon afterward he was obliged to enter upon a new contest with a disciple of the convert Abner of Burgos , with whose writings, especially with his Mostrador de Jeosticia , Moses was thoroughly acquainted. In 1374, at the desire of the members of his community, he wrote, in the form of a dialogue between a Jew and a Christian, the main substance of his debates, which treated of the Trinity, of the virginity of Mary, of sacrifice, of the alleged new teachings of Jesus and of the New Testament, of the seven weeks of Daniel, and of similar matters. His book, which is divided into seventeen chapters, dealing with 125 passages emphasized by Christian controversialists, is entitled Ezer ha Emunah The Support of Faith . It was sent by its author to David ibn Ya ish at Toledo, and manuscripts of it are found at Oxford, Berlin, Parma, Breslau, and elsewhere. References of Jewish Encyclopedia De Rossi Hamberger , Hist.
