Abstract

After a short presentation of Ibn Falaqera's person and work, considered from the point of view of the intellectual atmosphere of his time, the main themes of this work, written in his youth, are discussed. A Spanish translation of the 'Iggeret ha-wikuuah is offered, commenting the problem of the relation and harmony between Torah and Science, in the same positive attitude shown by Maimonides.
