A noted Jewish poet and religious writer; lived at Saragossa, Spain, in the 11th century. He is best known by his celebrated religious work, "Duties of the Heart", written by him in Arabic and translated into Hebrew. It abounds in spiritual meditations and exhortations, and occupies among the Jews a position similar to that held among Christians by the "Imitation of Christ". It was translated into Spanish (1610) and English (1894).
