Ibn Sahula wrote his fables in rhymed prose, here rendered into English as rhymed couplets. They comprise a series of satirical debates between a cynic and a moralist, put into the mouths of animals; the moralist always triumphs. The debates, which touch on such subjects as time, the soul, the physical sciences and medicine, astronomy, and astrology, amply reflect human foibles, political compromise, and court intrigue. They are suffused throughout with traditional Jewish law and lore, a flavour reinforced by the profusion of biblical quotations reapplied. 410 0$aLiverpool scholarship online. 606 $aFables, Hebrew$xSephardic authors 606 $aFables, Hebrew$vTranslations into English 615 0$aFables, Hebrew$xSephardic authors. 615 0$aFables, Hebrew 676 $a398.2/089/924 700 $aSahula$b Isaac ben Solomon$factive 13th century,$0929853 701 $aSahula$b Isaac ben Solomon$factive 13th century. 701 $aSahula$b Isaac ben Solomon$factive 13th century. 702 $aLoewe$b Raphael 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466597503321 996 $aMeshal Haqadmoni$92150266 997 $aUNINA
