Abstract
This chapter relates to core issues of Judah's philosophic and literary interests. Philosophical translation from Latin into Hebrew was admittedly an uncommon feature of medieval Jewish intellectual history, but this cross-cultural endeavor was practiced with enthusiasm by its few devotees. Judah's surviving work consists of translations into Hebrew, but it can be seen as a response to these rare opportunities of Jewish-Christian philosophical interaction. This chapter concentrates on translations from De forma , De anima , and De spiritu that form object of author's publication project. It looks at linguistic evidence and then returns to question of their subject matter, thus distributing author's remarks, in Aristotelian terms, equally between techne and episteme . According to Albert, pneuma , the form of life, is tool by which soul guides different functions of body: esse, vivere, sentire, moveri, intelligere . Keywords: Albert; De anima ; De forma ; De spiritu ; Hebrew translation; Jewish intellectual history; Judah; Latin; pneuma
