He was a pioneer in the fields in which he toiled, and was an inspiration and basis for later Jewish writing in all these areas. The last major English-language study of his work was published in 1921, long before Genizah research changed the understanding of the time in which he lived. This work, covering Sa'adyah's biography and his main areas of creativity in an accessible way, is a reassessment of an outstanding figure.Liverpool scholarship online.RabbisIraqBabyloniaBiographyJewish scholarsIraqBabyloniaBiographyRabbisJewish scholars920.0092924Brody Robert1955-984498Rozenberg BeṭsiStDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910466434703321Sa'adyah Gaon2248820UNINA
