Chapter 709: Avisbronn

The journey back was smooth sailing, and William was a little tired of the constant good news from other battlefields, and the Fountain of Life, a book written by the greatest Spanish Jewish philosopher and poet of the century, Solomon Brown. Ibn . Philosophical writings by Gabirule.

Of course, this man is more widely known by a more well-known name, which is Avisbronn, which is its Latin name.

In later literary works, animations, and games, Avisblon appeared as a heroic spirit in the fate-type moon world, and the earliest appearance was in the F/A of Yuichiro Toide, because of these works, William had a more profound influence on this person, so in the Spanish Zaragoza Crusade a few years ago, he specially invited Avisbronn, who was still the court poet of the Emir of Zaragoza, to Paris.

Born in 1020 into a Jewish family in Malaga, Spain, Avisbronn was younger than William, and moved with his family to Zaragoza as a child, where he was educated and extremely studious.

As a teenager, he worked tirelessly to study not only the Bible, the Talmud, and other Jewish scriptures, Hebrew and Arabic, but also astronomy, philosophy, medicine, mathematics, logic, poetry, and other subjects.

His knowledge provided a solid foundation for his writings, making him a prominent intellectual during the Jewish "Golden Age" (900-1200).

When he was only 16 years old, he was known in Spain for his ability to write poetry in Hebrew. Hassan's remarks were taught by the famous scholar and the favored retainer of the emir of Zaragoza.

A few years later, his teacher, Ibn Hassan, died in a tragic resurgence, and he became a court poet on the recommendation of another Jewish politician, the literary scholar Ibn Nagrera.

However, it may not have been a fortunate thing to become a court poet, and he became involved in a controversy over the Hebrew language, where he was rebuked and persecuted for his secular tendencies.

Fortunately, Ferdinand I of Castile and William jointly launched a small crusade against the emir of Zaragoza, and Avisblon managed to escape.

Speaking of which, Avisbronn had the idea of seclusion at that time, but it was later that William himself sent someone to invite him to Paris, so that a poet who was the pinnacle of Hebrew religious and secular poetry in the 11th century would not disappear from the world.

Avisbronn brought with him not only his earlier writings, but also many Saracen and Jewish scholars who had followed him to Paris.

Many of his earlier writings, many of which were destroyed by his political enemies, are now known as the Song of Conflict, which describes his life experiences, Ibn Hassan, a moving elegy to his deceased teacher, and the Crown of the Kingdom, which depicts the vastness of the universe and its own insignificance, full of philosophical truths, all of which are full of praise for the Messiah, many of which have been collected into later Jewish prayer books.

After receiving William's financial support, as the culmination of today's philosophy and poetry creation, he has successively written a series of philosophical philosophical works and poems, and William's "Fountain of Life" in his hand is the culmination of his life's talent.

The Fountain of Life was also well-known in later generations, but unfortunately only a few fragments of the original book remained, but the Latin and Hebrew versions of the Middle Ages have survived to this day, and William's ability to see the complete Fountain of Life today is a reward for his tireless support for cultural causes.

On the one hand, it is the culmination of Avisbronn's lifelong study of philosophy, and few other works in the world can surpass it, and on the other hand, this book has its own unique interpretation and insight in religion, and has an extremely important influence on later Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah and Christian scholasticism, such as Magnus, Aquitans, and Scottus in history.

To put it simply, Avisbronn can be regarded as an enhanced version of William in the 11th century. Shakespeare, although he left only more than 200 chapters of poetry, and most of them are fragments, his depth of thought is more than a step higher than Shakespeare's.

Thanks to William's support of culture, in addition to the philosopher and poet Avisbrolon, Paris also brought together scholars from all over the world, some from Italy and Rome, some from Córdoba and Spain, and even from Damascus and Baghdad. Under William's patronage, these scholars from all over the world were able to engage in a fierce exchange of ideas at the University of Paris, resulting in a series of literary and philosophical works, of which The Fountain of Life is one of the most outstanding.

William's support for cultural undertakings naturally has his reasons, throughout ancient and modern China and foreign countries, the use of force to maintain rule can only last for a while, at most three generations, for example, the Norman Dynasty in history passed on for three generations and died (William covered his face in shame), the Ayyubid Dynasty founded by Saladin in history also died in three generations, and the Qin Dynasty was replaced by the Han Dynasty after only two generations. But one of the important reasons is that the country ruled by this dynasty has a different culture, which makes it difficult to rule, and there is a high probability of rebellion.

For example, the Abbasid dynasty more than 200 years ago, which we know as the Black Eaters, reached a very splendid era in political and cultural life soon after its establishment, and ruled during the most powerful era of the Arabs, who were rich, powerful and self-confident, and extremely tolerant of religion and culture.

Especially in the heyday of Harlan Rysted and his son Maimun, most of the stories depicted in the famous "One Thousand and One Nights" took place during this period. Rysted is one of the most appearing figures.

In the ninth century, two great emperors dominated the century, Charlemagne of the West and Harlan of the Abbasid dynasty. Rysted, there is no doubt that Harlan of the two. Rysted became even stronger, so much so that Charlemagne later put aside his religious estrangement in order to fight together against the Byzantine Empire. The conclusion of the Covenant was a testament to the economic, cultural, and military-political dominance of the Abbasid dynasty.
