Abstract

In this article we offer a preliminary approach to Iggeret ha-Musar along with a critical edition based on sixteen manuscripts and a Spanish translation of this text attributed to Yehudah al-Ḥarizi (12^th -13^th c.). This Hebrew version, surprisingly widespread in Jewish circles, brings together ethical reflections from the famous Egyptian physician ͗Alī Ibn Riḍwān (10^th c.) and a supposed letter from Aristotle which is at the core of this work. This heterogeneous text, preserved in at least thirty-six manuscripts, contains an interesting amalgam of materials intended to provide a code of conduct based on universal principles.
