1. Solomón Ben Gabirol Marker
Solomón Ben Gabirol
The sculpture was created by the Jewish thinker Solomón ibn Gabirol, born in Málaga around 1021 and who died in Valencia around 1058.
Ibn Gabirol was one of the most famous erudite Spanish Jews of the middle ages. Latin scholars referred to him as Ayicebron. Until the 19th century he was thought to have been a Christian.
He was born to a family from Córdoba who was fleeing the revolts that ended the Córdoba caliphate. He escaped to Zaragoza where he was educated, even though we know his origins lay in Málaga from his works (al-malaqui).
The positive opinion of ibn Gabirol that later chroniclers have of him does not reflect the feelings of his contemporaries. His confrontations with his religious peers ended in the promulgation of an anathema and he was expelled from the Hebrew community of Zaragoza (1045) when he again went into exile.
He wrote two famous essays in Arabic. The first one is philosophical, “The source of life”, which was translated into Latin, Fons Vitae. It consists of a dialogue between a master and his disciple. This work has been a very important reference

Ибн Габироль родился в одной из семей Кордовы. Спасаясь от беспорядков, которые привели к концу халифата Кордовы, он бежал в Сарагосу, где получил образование. Но благодаря его работе стало известно, что он являлся уроженницом Малаги (аль-малаки).
Положительое мнение, составленное об Ибн Габироле летописцами более поздних периодов, вовсе не означает, что он пользовался уважением среди своих современников. Напротив, противостояние со своими единоверцами закончилось провозглашением херема, или анафемы, и исключением Габироля из еврейской общины Сарагосы в 1045 году, откуда ему снова пришлось отправиться в изгнание.
Он написал два знаменитых трактата на арабском языке. Первый -- философский трактат «Источник жизни», переведенный на латинский как Fons Vital, -- написан в форме диалога между наставником и его учеником. Эта работа имела важное значение для христианской философии в целом.

Overview: Solomon ibn Gabirol or Solomon ben Judah (Hebrew: ר׳ שְׁלֹמֹה בֶּן יְהוּדָה אִבְּן גָּבִּירוֹל, romanized: Shlomo Ben Yehuda ibn Gabito; Arabic: أبو أيوب سليمان بن يحيى بن جبيرول, romanized: ’Abū ’Ayyūb Sulaymān bin Yaḥyá bin Jabīrūl) was an 11th-century Jewish poet and philosopher in the Neo-Platonic tradition in Al-Andalus. He published over a hundred poems, as well as works of biblical exegesis, philosophy, ethics and satire. One source credits ibn Gabirol with creating a golem, possibly female, for household chores.(Submitted on August 7, 2024, by Charles Berman of Binghamton, New York.)
