The Karaite Literary Opponents Of Saadiah Gaon (1908) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781164003458)

The Karaite Literary Opponents of Saadiah Gaon is a book written by Samuel Poznanski and published in 1908. The book explores the literary works of the Karaites, a Jewish sect that rejected the Talmud and relied solely on the Hebrew Bible. The focus of the book is on the Karaites' opposition to Saadiah Gaon, a prominent Jewish scholar who lived in the 10th century CE. The book examines the arguments put forth by the Karaites against Saadiah's works, including his translation of the Hebrew Bible into Arabic and his commentary on the Bible. Poznanski analyzes the Karaites' criticisms of Saadiah's interpretation of the Bible, his use of philosophical concepts, and his views on Jewish law. The book provides a detailed look at the intellectual debates between the Karaites and Saadiah, and sheds light on the religious and cultural diversity within the Jewish community during the medieval period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
