Abstract

Three astronomical texts attributed to Šabbeṯay Donnolo

During the last few decades, three astronomical and astrological texts have been attributed to Šabbeṯay Donnolo, namely: the Baraytâ de-mazzalôṯ, the Sefer ha-mazzalôṯ, and an excerpt that has been entitled “The World was created in Nissan”. Yet a more careful scrutiny shows that those attributions have not been backed up by sufficient evidence. This article uses the two works certainly written by Donnolo, and compares them to the three texts listed above that have been ascribed to him. The analysis of their content and style clearly shows that the paternity of the three texts in question can not be assigned so readily to Donnolo.
