(FT) 8vo. Xvii, 118 pages. In Hebrew. Jedaiah ben Abraham Bedersi (Ha-Penini; probably born in the 1280s and died about 1340), was a "poet and philosopher. Possibly a native of Béziers, Jedaiah is known to have spent time in Perpignan and Montpellier. Little is known of his personal history. He may have been a physician. Jedaiah's intellectual interests were literary and philosophic, although the two spheres were not clearly separated. In his youth, he composed a poetic prayer of 1,000 words titled " Bakkashat ha-Memim," every word of which begins with the letter mem (in Olelot ha-Bohen, 1808). He is also credited with a similar composition, every word of which begins with alef, but many believe that this latter poem was written by Jedaiah's father. In popular style he composed Ohev Nashim ('In Defense of Women,' ed. by A. Neubauer in Jubelschrift. L. Zunz (1884), pt. 1, 138-40; pt. 2, 1-19). His best-known literary work is Sefer Behinat Olam ('The Book of the Examination of the World'), a lyrical, ethical monograph on the theme of the futility and vanity of this world, and the inestimably greater benefits of intellectual and religious pursuits. Behinat Olam, written in florid prose and rich in imagery, combines philosophic doctrine and religious fervor with a good measure of asceticism and pessimism" (Ruth Glasner in EJ, 2007). SUBJECT(S) : Philosophy and religion; Jedaiah ben Abraham Bedersi, ca. 1270-ca. 1340. SERIES: Sefarim ha-yotsim la-or ba-pa`am ha-rishonah `al yede Hevrat Mekitse nirdamim, ; shenat 14.
