Flexible Hardcover. Condición: Good. In Hebrew. (1), 161 Pages. 132 x 96 mm. Pages yellow and brittle. First leaf detached. Damage to foot of out spine strip.The Book of Beliefs and Opinions (completed in 933 CE) was written by Saadia Gaon and is the first systematic presentation and philosophical foundation of the dogmas of Judaism. The translation of the work was originally titled The Book of the Articles of Faith and Doctrines of Dogma, but is better known in the Hebrew translation of Judah ben Saul ibn Tibbon (1186 CE) as Emunot ve-Deot (Beliefs and Opinions). The work has an introduction and ten chapters. The work was mainly written as a defense of Rabbinic Judaism against the views of Karaite Judaism, which rejects the oral law (Mishnah and Talmud). In his detailed introduction, Saadia speaks of the reasons that led him to compose it. He grieved when he saw the confusion concerning matters of religion that prevailed among his contemporaries, finding an unintelligent belief and unenlightened views current among those who professed Judaism, while those who denied the faith triumphantly vaunted their errors. Men were sinking in the sea of doubt and overwhelmed by the waves of spiritual error, and there was none to help them; so that Saadia felt duty bound to save them from their peril by strengthening the faithful in their belief and by removing the fears of those who were in doubt. After a general presentation of the causes of lack of faith and the essence of belief, Saadia describes the three natural sources of knowledge: perceptions of the senses, light of reason, and logical necessity, as well as the fourth source of knowledge possessed by those fear God, the "veritable revelation" contained in the Scriptures. He shows that a belief in the teachings of Revelation does not exclude an independent search for knowledge, but that speculation on religious subjects rather endeavors to prove the truth of the teachings received from the Prophets and to mitigate attacks upon revealed doctrine, which must be raised by philosophic investigation to the plane of actual knowledge. The work was originally in Arabic, was translated by rabbi and physician Judah ben Saul Ibn Tibbon, who also translated the Kuzari of Judah Halevi. This version was first printed in Constantinople in 1562.
