In their pursuit of a renewal of Jewish philosophy, a few students energetic in Spain and Italy within the moment half the 15th century (Abraham Bibago, Baruch Ibn Ya‘ish, Abraham Shalom, Eli Habillo, Judah Messer Leon) became to the doctrines and strategies of latest Latin Scholasticism. those philosophers, who learn Latin rather well, have been inspired through the theories formulated by way of their Latin colleagues (Albert the good, Thomas Aquinas, William of Ockham, John Duns Scotus and their followers). They composed unique works in Hebrew (mainly commentaries and questions about Aristotle), during which they faithfully reproduced the concepts and terminology of past due Scholasticism, and explicitly quoted and mentioned Scholastic texts and doctrines approximately common sense, physics, metaphysics and ethics.

Thus, in 15th century Italy and Spain there got here into being what we may possibly name a "Hebrew Scholasticism": Jewish authors composed philosophical treatises within which they mentioned an identical questions and used an identical tools as modern Christian Schoolmen. those thinkers weren't easily prompted through Scholasticism: they have been actual Schoolmen who attempted to take part (in a distinct language) within the philosophical debate of up to date Europe.
