Thousands of Jews fled north to Christian Spain, where they had to live among Karaite Jews very different from themselves. Philosopher Abraham ibn Daud responded to this upheaval by writing \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Book of Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, known as\u003ci\u003e Sefer ha-Qabbalah\u003c\/i\u003e. This epic on Jewish history from ancient times to the 12th century eulogized Spanish Jewry and reminded readers of a once-thriving culture. No one before had ever attempted to write such a broad history of Jewish civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Book of Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is unique and one of the first examples of Jewish historiography. In JPS's edition of this classic work, first published in 1967, renowned scholar Gerson D. Cohen presents his translation of ibn Daud's entire text, as well as commentary and an extensive introduction that masterfully provides context for the reader. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abraham Ibn Daud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jewish Publication Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780827609167\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jewish Publication Society","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":42993992302707,"sku":"9.78083E+12","price":39.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_ef069b86-83bb-4ff2-928d-7cbffbdfaf9e.jpg?v=1744758896","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-book-of-tradition-sefer-ha-qabbalah-9780827609167","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
