  Since 1954 scholars of Jewish and Latin philosophy have been intrigued by M.T. d’Alverny’s suggestion that Abraham Ibn Daud is the same person as the twelfth-century Arabic-into-Latin translator Avendauth, also known as “Avendeuth philosophus israelita”, who collaborated with Dominicus Gundissalinus in Toledo. Though appealing, no indisputable proof could be provided for this identification. Recent research on the Toledan Arabic-into-Latin translation program, however, has provided strong support in favor of d’Alverny’s identity-suggestion. The new studies portray Avendauth as the motive force (Bertolacci 2011:54) behind the Latin translations of Ibn Sina.(D’Alverny 1954; Bertolacci 2011; Burnett 2009; Fidora 2011; Hasse 2006; Schwartz 2013;Freudenthal 2016).
