Abraham bar Hiyya, junto con Abraham ben Ezra y Moshé Sefardí, como se viene diciendo, es uno de los que se encargaron de transmitir a Europa la gran ciencia judía y árabe andalusí y, concretamente, de la Marca Superior y zaragozana. Tuvo como sobrenombre (no se sabe por qué) el de ha-Nasi y fue conocido among Latinos as Abraham ludaeus or Savasorda (short title derived from the Arabic al-Sahib takes or police chief). Born in Barcelona around the year 1065. Almost nothing is known of his life except that he lived and taught in Castile, southern France, Soria, Lleida, Huesca and Zaragoza. The latter must do more than teach, must build up their scientific knowledge in this area of \u200b\u200bthe Upper.
Also as Ezra ben Abraham and Moses was a polygraph Sephardic covering various branches of science such as astronomy and mathematics, while he practiced philosophy. Composed works such as Sefer ha'ibburo astronomical Collation book, a work that ranks as the oldest referring to the rules for calculating the Hebrew calendar year. Astronomy also has its Surat-'eres or shape of the earth which is the first treaty in Hebrew astronomical geography. Also included in this line mahalak Heshbon im hakokabim or calculation or calculation of the course of the stars, which is like a sequel to the earlier work. Geometry is the ha-mesiha Hibbur w'hatisboret, Treaty areas and measures, which was translated into Latin by Plato of Tivoli in 1166 after becoming one of the fundamental mathematics book in Christian Europe.
As philosophical works must mention Higayón ha-nefes or Meditation of the soul and Megillat ha-megalo, the book reveals. Finally, as a general encyclopedic work of exegesis, philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, music and visual tebüna composed Yesod ha-u-Migdal ha 'Emunah, or Fundamentals of understanding and a tower of faith, of which only fragments have survived. These, as well as previous work and the Treaty of areas and measures were translated by Miles Vallicrosa.
view of their production no doubt that the work of teacher met the same goals as those of Abraham ben Ezra between the Jewish and Christian communities of Europe and Pedro Alfonso between the Christian. Bar-Hijjah. He did not only in Europe but also in the Sefarad, particularly in the intellectual circle Zaragoza and Catalan. Thanks to these leaders of science and philosophy, the new knowledge of Arabic and Jewish began to settle in the Christian West, after the very ferment in Jewish circles.
The outline of his philosophical thought could be summarized as follows: First, the task princpal of man is through self-knowledge which comes to the knowledge of God, the ultimate goal of all beings endowed with reason. Geostiseauton is that Muslims take as a starting point playing the Prophet said "he who knows his Master" and that the Jews do it by reading the verse from Job "from my body I shall see God", with which the Greek principle assumes a value of religious law. This introversion leads to the philosophy part of the consideration of the man himself to get to the worldview of its own to the way we did before Isaac Israeli. Thus, in view of the constitution of man, tackles hylomorphic and metaphysical vision of the composition of matter and form of beings.
Now this hylomorphic, unlike Ibn Gabirol, only applies to bodily existence. Intelligences and higher beings of the cosmos and souls are spiritual forms lacking de materia.
Por otra parte, Bar Hiyya se esfuerza por armonizar el principio creacionista del génesis con la filosofia habitual de su momento y de la tradición judía y musulmana. En efecto, afirma que, antes de la creación, el mundo y los seres que contiene, simplemente no existían. Una vez Que Dios decidió la creación del mundo, empezó a ser potencialmente existente, careciendo sin embargo de ser todavía. Una vez que Dios decretó y quiso hacer la creación, expulsó el no-ser e hizo que la forma sobreviniese a la materia surgiendo así los seres concretos.
Dos textos serán expresivos por sí mismos, a pesar de las oscuridades que implican al oscilar entre el creacionismo and emanationist: "In this way, matter and form, which, according to the ancient philosophers, were potentially before creation, is the tohu va bohu mentioned by the Torah (Genesis, 2). This is what the world was before the rise of the world today through the word of God, as the Bible says: "The earth was tohu va bohu" And: "The matter was too weak to uphold: itself and for itself that would cover their own deficiencies, unless it was covered by the Form, Form, meanwhile, could not be seen or felt, except to inform the matter is that there to sustain. Thus, each the other two required and needed each other so that the world existed and was perceived. Without the form, matter could not exist, while the shape could not be captured without the subject. However, the shape is more important than the subject, since it only requires the material to be captured, it can actually exist without matter, while matter can not exist at all without the Form. " Once formed
Matter and Form, the latter deriving all spiritual beings and their nests. From the combination of Matter and Form, there will be concrete material beings.
The process emanated, as developed by Bar-Hijjah has great relationships with the Sefer Yesira and the Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity. Indeed: first, the overwhelming presence of light and the identification of process expansion emanate light rays from God and the Form to the last people, through the human soul, by the prophet, by the wise and the holy. Moreover, for Bar-Hijjah the corporeal world is but the astral image of the upper world, which is subject. One consequence is that in this philosophical and his dedication to astronomy, astrology follows a thought which is addressed for the first time in our author. And it is known that both the SeferYesira as the Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity were endless sources of inspiration at this point. In fact, the fifth chapter of Megillat ha-Full megale is dedicated to astronomical and astrological calculations aimed at highlighting the primacy of Israel over all other nations of the earth, which would be the center pole and fundamental.
In the case of man, hylomorphic composed of body and soul formulas adopted Plato and Aristotle, while not lacking at times in certain ambiguities. Body and soul are all inseparable from form and matter in the manner of Aristotle, but on the other hand, has a spiritual soul independence and control over the matter and the rest of creation to the Platonic. On the other hand, the intellectual soul was subject to the rule of the other two levels of mind, irascible and concupiscible an original sin committed by Adam. In that domain will gradually rid the man.
This foregrounding of original sin is based Talmudic undoubtedly, but possibly by Christian influence, the issue gained importance in Bar Hijjah acquiring capital. Moreover, the fact that the intellectual soul comes by emanation of intelligence and superior minds, we mark with a destination further purification in the context in which it moves Neoplatonic Bar-Hijjah. Indeed, the soul aspires to total purity and separation from the irascible soul concupiscible. However, this aspiration has important aspects which should highlight.
Above all, the ideal and reality of pure soul is not something given to humanity as a whole from the first moment of creation, but historically materialized in a single individual in each of the generations from Adam to Seth, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and after them, for the twelve tribes of the twelve sons of the patriarch Jacob. Then, the pure soul and heritage is accessible to all the people of Israel and only he, If God made man master of all creation and has the purity as an ideal to achieve, it only exists in the people of Israel, chosen by God. This concept is very close to that of Judah ha-Levi, with the difference that in this, after the Christ, all mankind will enjoy this privilege. Bar Hijjah while still enclosing the prerogative of the Jewish people, despite his firm belief in the advent of a Messiah, which he ventured to predict for the year 1358. Moreover, the transmission of pure soul of Bar Hijjah, from generation to generation, has a similar structure and drinks on the same sources that divine thing Yehuda Halevi, as we saw at the time. On the other hand, Zionism and messianism of Abraham bar Hijjah are the very historical moment in which he lives, one of which is the proper reflexes ha-Levi.
purifying In terms of procedure, Bar Hijjah is based on undeniable freedom of man and his capacity for repentance and penance. It shows affinities with Ibn Paquda while at the same time, their version of penance and ascetic life differs in many points.
Hijjah To Bar there are two types of purified men: those who turn away completely from the world of matter and the other two souls, and those who work constantly to get rid of these bonds at the expense of an extraordinary effort. The first will see God and intelligible directly in the work life, while others will see what they were deprived in life and that was his happiness. Curious interpretation of the beyond, perhaps taken from Avicenna.
On the other hand, between the two works cited, Hegyón ḥanef and Megillat ha-megalo, there is a hesitation, but must be attributed as a final thought which exposes Bar Hijjah in the second, being back in time to another. On the first exposed to the following schedule as possible to the soul: the pure and perfect without more, go to the contemplation of God in the afterlife. But those that are stained by sin have the following routes: the pure, but with moral stains are punished to err in the sun and burning for some time, the souls morally pure, but defective in intelligence., transmigrate into other bodies until they acquire adequate knowledge and perfect, at last, they have neither intelligence nor virtue, perish with the body. This metempsychosis here pronounced completely rejected in the second of those works, by subjecting the soul to the usual rewards and punishments without going after wandering from one body to another to reach or intelligence or moral purification.
Hijjah Bar doctrines, moreover, suffer from some bruising and ambiguities, due not only to what exposure defective but the multiple sources heterogeneous to take hold. However., The general lines of thought follow the guidelines of Neoplatonism, the Sefer Yesirá and Islamic philosophy, within the overall context of the other authors who have chronicled. His teacher, I repeat once again, had to leave his mark on the Ebro Valley and in Zaragoza, while it took them many different elements.
