  The Fons Vitae is arguably the most influential of his works, though mostly among medieval Christians. Available in Hebrew summary form by the 13th century, and quoted in Arabic in Moses Ibn Ezra's  work,[15] the Fons Vitae left its strongest imprint not on medieval Jews but on the medieval Christian world. Translated into Latin in the 12th century, and circulating no longer under Ibn Gabirol's name per se, but now under the Latinized version of his name (variously as Avicebron, Avicembron, Avicenbrol and Avencebrol), the Fons Vitae was engaged (variously criticized and hallowed) by centuries of medieval Christian scholars, who either assumed the author to be a Muslim or a Christian, none suspecting the author to be the accomplished medieval Jewish poet, Solomon Ibn Gabirol.
