註釋Samuel ben ?ofni Gaon was head of the Yeshiva of Sura in Baghdad during the cultural renaissance which characterized the Buyid period. His writings reflect the impact of Arabic literature on Jewish intellectuals at this time. The first part of this volume presents the known details of his life and extensive writings and describes the dynamics of contemporary, tenth-century Jewish culture: the decline and temporary restoration of the yeshivot and the intellectual activity outside of them. Additionally, some of the basic concepts of his thought, strongly influenced by Mu'tazilite Kal?m, are explained. The book provides the Judeo-Arabic text and annotated English translation of two of his works on legal theory, his "Treatise on the Commandments" and "Ten Questions," reconstructed from manuscript fragments from the Cairo Geniza.
