  Following the Christian reception of Ibn Gabirol's text further, we might note that whole groups of medieval Christian philosophers assumed the text to have been written in particular by an Augustinian Christian. Taken up by many Franciscan philosophers in just this way, Ibn Gabirol's Fons Vitae text became a cornerstone in many theologically charged debates between Franciscans and Dominicans, the Franciscans pointing to many of the Fons Vitae doctrines in support of what they took to be true, untainted Christian ideas as laid out by Augustine—in contrast to the more heavily Aristotelianized ideas of Dominicans like St. Thomas Aquinas. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that the Fons Vitae began its return to its Jewish roots when Solomon Munk uncovered the 13th century Hebrew summary by Shem Tov Ibn Falaquera in which the text is attributed to Solomon Ibn Gabirol. In this way, Munk recognized the Fons Vitae to have in fact been penned by the 11th century Jewish poet.
