About the Book

Solomon ibn Gabirol is now best known for his work Fons Vitæ ('Fountain of Life') and for his philosophical doctrine that all things, including soul and intellect, are composed of matter and form, and for his emphasis on Divine Will. Fons Vitæ is a Neo-Platonic philosophical dialogue between master and disciple on the nature of Creation and how understanding what we are (our nature) can help us know how to live (our purpose). The work was originally composed in Arabic, of which no copies are extant. It has come down to us throughout the ages due to its translation into Latin (in 1150) by the Toledo School of Translators. NOTE: This edition by Azafran Books was published in September 2017 and has been edited and formatted by a team of dedicated real people - not an algorithm! Our books have been carefully published to the highest of standards.
About the Author: Solomon ibn Gabirol (1021-1070) was an 11th century Andalusian poet who was born in Malaga and died in Valencia. He is credited as being a Jewish philosopher with, it is said, a 'Neo-Platonic' bent. He published over a hundred poems, as well as works on philosophy, ethics, and satire. In the 19th century it was discovered that medieval translators had Latinized Gabirol's name to Avicebron and had translated his work on Jewish Neo-Platonic philosophy into a Latin form. Azafran Books was established with a clear aim in mind - to make available a selection of classic books for today's contemporary readers. The books in our catalogue have been selected from a broad range of themes; such as philosophy (occidental & oriental), mysticism & magic, new thought, religion & spirituality, folktales, mythology, cult fiction, poetry, social commentary, and psychology. Yet they all have a common theme, or purpose - to stimulate our thinking and modes of perception. For this reason, they have been chosen to be re-published and re-presented to the modern reader. Azafran Books have been re-edited, formatted, and presented with new design work - they are NOT scanned copies with original errors. Our books have been carefully re-published to the highest of standards - by a team of dedicated real people - not an algorithm! Our aim at Azafran Books is to bring a range of stimulating books, many of them largely forgotten, to the attention of the reader today. In other words, to bring you 'Classic Books for a Contemporary World.'
