Abstract:
This article reconstructs a biography of al-Shaykh al-Muwaffaq Ibn Jumay' (fl. 1170-1200), one of the most illustrious Jewish physicians of the medieval Islamic world, using both Muslim historiographical and Jewish Geniza sources. The article demonstrates that data mentioned by Muslim authors and details mentioned in the Geniza documents, reciprocally strengthen, confirm and add information about Ibn Jumay'’s life, thus creating a colorful biographical mosaic of the famous Jewish physician’s life.
