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. 410 0$aLiverpool scholarship online. 606 $aRabbis$zIraq$zBabylonia$vBiography 606 $aJewish scholars$zIraq$zBabylonia$vBiography 615 0$aRabbis 615 0$aJewish scholars 676 $a920.0092924 700 $aBrody$b Robert$f1955-$0984498 702 $aRozenberg$b Bet?si 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466434703321 996 $aSa'adyah Gaon$92248820 997 $aUNINA
