العلوم النقلية عند يهود المغرب الأوسط خلال العصر الزياني

الملخص EN

The Zianid Period witnessed a qualitative move in the scientific field, during which, there appeared numerous scientists who enriched that field with their books.

Although most of them were Muslims, this didn’t prevent the emergence of a literate class from the Jews whose contact with Muslims motivated them to do well in various sciences.

Besides to that, their teachings induced them to learn more and be cultured.

In fact, with the persistence of migration from Andalusia, which was witnessing wars of Christian recouping, they were obliged to migrate towards the Maghreb land.

At that time, it was a safe land that encouraged them to develop their knowledge, especially if we knew that many scientists and Jewish masters were on those migrations.

They constituted, in the Zianid period, the cultured Jewish class which was mostly interested on transmitted sciences focusing on explaining the sacred books they had.

They followed Muslim scientists’ method, who used Quran and Sunna to explain, cite and derive the legal verdicts.

Jewish scientists considered the Torah a Talmud main texts and the pivot of their verdicts and legislations.

They also tried to bring back the Jewish groves to depend totally on sacred texts when making their verdicts as they remarked their disinclination from that way.
