RABBI BEN EZRA?
The Rabbi, Ben Ezra whom Browning has immortalised in his poem in praise of old age. was a brilliant Jewish philoso- pher, scientist and teacher of the twelfth century.
The first fifty years of his life were spent in his native land of Spain, but in the latter part of his days he travelled. widely, visiting Italy, Greece and England. During his life- time he attained an immense reputation as a commentator on the Old Testament scrip- tures, and three of the great. Rabbinic Bibles are furnished " with his notes.

Man's worth will not be measured by his achievement, but by his efforts, so that it behoves us to welcome diff- culties, rebuffa and even fal- Iure, since by them alone can we be truly tested. Such, In brief, was the philosophy of the Rabbi Abraham, Ben Meir Ben Ezra.:
