Also, in 1342, he wrote On Sines, Chords and Arcs which examined trigonometry, in particular proving the sine theorem for plane triangles and giving 5 figure sine tables. One year later, at the request of the bishop of Meaux, he wrote The Harmony of Numbers which is a commentary on the first 5 books of Euclid He also invented Jacob's staff, an instrument to measure the angular distance between celestial objects. It is described as consisting ... of a staff of feet long and about one inch wide, with six or seven perforated tablets which could slide along the staff, each tablet being an integral fraction of the staff length to facilitate calculation, used to measure the distance between stars or planets, and the altitudes and diameters of the Sun, Moon and stars. Levi observed a solar eclipse in 1337. After he had observed this event he proposed a new theory of the sun which he proceeded to test by further observations.

Astronomy in Israel Suggested Text Astronomy of Levi Ben Gerson, 1288-1344... MEGALITHS Prehistoric astronomical activity is represented by a Stonehengelike megalithic circle and "Observatory" at Rujm-el-Hiri , near Yonathan in the Golan, the Westernmost sector of the historical Bashan plateau dating from the IIIrd Millenium BC. Star worship is mentioned in the Old Testament as beeing common among the Canaanites, but the Bashan inhabitants who built that Golan megalithic circle antedate the Canaanites. Very little is known about them and the presumably religous role of their edifice. To the IIIth Century BC Israelitis, they appeared as the work of giants (Refa'im, also Anakim, Emim, Zuzim), and this is probably the source of the legends about races of giants that had lived in Eretz-Israel prior to the Israelite conquest - including the characterization "a remnant of the giants" for Og , King of Bashan, in Deuteronomy and Joshua. Indeed, the Rujm-el-Hiri circle is just one among many megalithic remains in the Bashan, probably at the origin in Greece and England (the "Giant's Dance" = Stonehenge). ASTRONOMY IN THE MISHNA The Israelitis' abstract monotheism and their centering of intellectual creativity on ethical issues were detrimental to a natural development of observational science, as did happen in Sumeria or Greece. However, the requirements of agriculture induced a cycle of holidays that were incorporated in time into Judaism and were given Ethnical or National religious significance. There thus developed a need for an understanding of the recurrence of seasons and for a synchronized calendar fitted to Solar, Lunar and Sidereal time. Several of the Mishnaic scholars were versed in Astronomy, such as the "Tannaim"

Levi escreveu diversos livros de comentários ao antigo testamento, um tratado filosófico intitulado MilHamot Adonai (Guerras de Deus), um livro de lógica e quatro tratados de matemática: um comentário sobre Euclides (1320), que inclui uma sua tentativa de demonstara o 5º postulado; De Sinibus, Chordis et Arcubus (1342), tratado de trigonometria incluído em MilHamot Adonai , dedicado ao Papa e que foi traduzido para latim durante a sua vida; De Numeris Harmonis (1343) o qual foi escrito a pedido do bispo de Meaux e que foi igualmente traduzido para latim. Capa de MilHamot Adonai Maaseh Hoslev (1321) - A Arte do Cálculo é um livro dividido em duas partes. A primeira parte é uma colecção de 68 teoremas e demonstrações ao estilo euclideano sobre aritmética, álgebra e combinatória. A segunda parte do livro contém algoritmos de cálculo e está dividido em 6 partes: adição e subtracção; multiplicação; soma; combinatória; divisão, raízes quadradas e cúbicas e razões e proporções. Uma grande colecção de problemas pararece no final da segunda parte.

Older browsers and/or operating systems may not display the formatting correctly. last substantive content change AUG Gersonides Perhaps no other medieval Jewish philosopher has been so maligned over the centuries as Gersonides (Levi ben Gerson, acronym Ralbag). Indeed, his major philosophical work, Sefer Milhamot Ha-Shem The War of the Lord , 1329), was called " Wars against the Lord " by one of his opponents. Despite the vilification of his position, Gersonides emerges as one of the most significant and comprehensive thinkers in the medieval Jewish tradition. He has been constantly quoted (even if only to be criticized), and, through the works of Hasdai Crecas and others, Gersonides' ideas have influenced such thinkers as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibiniz and Benedict de Spinoza. This article will survey his major contributions to medieval philosophy. 1. Introduction 2. Biography 3. Major Works 4. Major Themes in Milhamot Ha-Shem ... Related Entries 1. Introduction In the introduction to his recently completed translation of Wars of the Lord , Feldman suggests that the significance of Gersonides lies in his emphasis upon "religious rationalism in Judaism." According to Feldman, we see a man who "has taken seriously the fact that he has reason, who believes that this faculty is God-given, and who attempts to understand God with this instrument" (

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Gersonides Rabbi Levi ben Gerson (Gershon), better known as Gersonides or the 'Ralbag (1288—1344 CE), was a Jewish philosopher and commentator, was born at Bagnols in Languedoc. Table of contents 1 Biography 2 Works 3 Views on God and omnipotence 4 Views of the afterlife Biography As in the case of the other medieval Jewish philosophers little is known of his life. His family had been distinguished for piety and exegetical skill, but though he was known in the Jewish community by commentaries on certain books of the Bible , he never seems to have accepted any rabbinical post. Possibly the freedom of his opinions may have put obstacles in the way of his preferment. He is known to have been at Avignon and Orange during his life, and is believed to have died in 1344, though Zacuto asserts that he died at Perpignan in 1370. Works Part of his writings consist of commentaries on the portions of Aristotle then known, or rather of commentaries on the commentaries of Averroes . Some of these are printed in the early Latin editions of Aristotle’s works. His most important treatise, that by which he has a place in the history of philosophy, is entitled
