Jacob Anatoli
Jacob Anatoli
c. 1194-1258
French Jewish philosopher and physician who translated several Arabic works into Hebrew. In addition to numerous writings by Ibn Rushd (a.k.a. Averroës; 1126-1198), Anatoli translated the Jawami, or The Elements of Astronomy, by al-Farghani (fl. c. 860). His Hebrew translation would later serve as the basis for the translation of the Jawami into Latin.
