 A common trait of Del Medigo’s literary output is a clear taste for Aristotelian philosophy in its Averroist guise. This is manifested both in his translations and commentaries on Averroes, as well as in the Beḥinat ha-Dat (although Averroes’ name is not mentioned in that work, for reasons which will be discussed below). Despite this overarching feature, Del Medigo’s oeuvre is also characterized by a dichotomy, geographical in as much as it is linguistic, religious and intellectual: Crete vs. Italy, Jewish thought vs. Paduan Aristotelianism, Hebrew vs. Latin. We will examine Del Medigo’s activity as cohesive whole yet in light of these different backgrounds and circumstances.
