The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions | 1997 | 587 words | Copyright

Ibn Daud, Abraham ben David ha-Levi (Rabad; c.1110–80). Jewish philosopher, historian, and physician. Ibn Daud worked for most of his life in Toledo where he eventually died as a martyr. His most important books were Sefer ha-Kabbalah (The Book of Kabbalah, G. D. Cohen, 1967), which defends Judaism throughout history against the Karaite heresy, and Al-ʿAqida al Rafiʿa, tr. into Heb. as Ha-Emunah ha-Ramah (The Sublime Faith), which defends the doctrines of Judaism using Aristotelian modes of thinking. Both books have remained influential down to modern times.
