This article analyzes one of the main characters of the 'Iggeret ha-musar by Shem Tov ibn Falaquera: the Hindu master. In the text this figure shows himself as a strangeand controversial wise man by his words and, especially, by his behaviour. He is used by the author to teach ethical concepts well-known in the didactics literature of the thirteenthcentury; but he also offers messages that could be considered inusual in a Jewish context.This circumstance makes necessary to ask us about his function with in the treatise and the values that the author defends through him. This analysis will contribute to illuminate Falaquera’s thought as well as the socio-cultural climate of his time..
