   Ibn Ezra’s commentary, mostly by virtue of the terse, enticing, yet thoroughly abstruse sodot, spawned a huge satellite literature (Simon 1993; Lawee 2017). These “supercommentaries” constitute one of the major branches of Jewish philosophical literature of the fourteenth century. As a rule, they tend to interpret Ibn Ezra along similar lines, emphasizing, for example, astral governance and the magical aspects of ritual. Despite the obvious disagreements, these supercommentaries repeatedly argued that Ibn Ezra and Maimonides are conveying the same message (Visi 2009).
