I know of know actual evidence that Ralbag was a talmudist and will be removing this claim from the opening paragraph until it can be substantiated. I know that later authorities claimed him to be a Talmudist, but this has little support (and is likely out of a desire that popular parshanim also be famous in the talmud world, which Rashi was, but Ibn Ezra, Ralbag, etc, were not). jnothman talk 00:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
It would appear that the name could be more correctly spelled with an "n", as in fact the name "Gersonides" suggests. 132.70.50.117 ( talk) 13:15, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Louis Jacobs is certainly not the founder of Conservative Judaism!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.231.102.196 ( talk) 16:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
I removed the sentence that suggested that Orthodox theologians might disagree with the interpretation of Jacobs. First, speculation seemed to me improper. If someone has disagreed with Jacobs, they should be cited. Further, if there really is a difference of opinion, the grounds on which the two camps disagree (the relative passage in Gersonides) might have to be adduced. As I'm relatively new here, I'd love to see feedback on whether I did well here or not, and also whether or not, in the absence of cited debate, the qualifier "LJ argued" should be there or not... but it seemed to me wrong to include this hypothetical, as well as extraneous information about Jacobs (some of which is dubious, too), especially info. that implies he's got a bias without arguing it...

This quote has been marked as needing a citation since April 2009. This quote appears verabatim in a Daily Medieval blog from July 2012, as Rabbi Levi's own description, citing Book of the Wars of the Lord - Rabbi Levi's main work.
In that case, this must be a quote from Bernard Goldstein's The Astronomy of Levi ben Gerson (1288-1344), which apparently consists of a translation of the otherwise unpublished astronomical portion (Book 5, Part 1) of the Wars of the Lord. I cannot find the quote by searching Google Books' snippet-view version of the book. Does anyone have a hard copy? (The relevant quote would be in chapters 4–11, which are said by various sources to describe the Jacob's staff.)

A simple summation formula is mentioned in a guide on "reading mathematics" and attributed to Gersonides. I could only find a blog post proving the theorem, but unfortunately nothing more substantial. Is this formula usually attributed to Gersonides in lectures or textbooks (in the anglosphere)? Is it worth mentioning it in the wiki article here? Leonry ( talk) 10:20, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
