Abstract

Medieval Judaism maintained a relationship with knowledge and science that cannot be understood without a revision and identification of its particularities. The link between the moral and the physical dimensions, as born in biblical texts, justifies until today the need to deepen the understanding of the real, always from the human being itself and its many faculties. Medieval Jewish science does not lag behind any other, but contributes and actively participates in the creation and diffusion processes. It even has its own myths. The practice of what we now call art also adheres to this corpus of wisdom in Judaism, as is the case of the book, which disseminates and materializes this knowledge.
