A Geographical List in Hebrew Previously Ascribed to Abraham Bar Ḥiyya
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
A geographical list in Hebrew was published in 1851 as an appendix to a treatise on the calendar by Abraham Bar Ḥiyya (d. ca. 1136). It is argued here that this list has nothing to with Bar Ḥiyya; rather, it was copied from the Tables of Barcelona (second half of the fourteenth century), and derives in part from the geographical list in the zij of Ibn al-Kammād (early twelfth century).
