Poet, Biblical commentator, grammarian, astronomer, mathematician Abraham ibn Ezra was one of the most remarkable men of his time and one of the relatively few Whose works have become the heritage of all those who wish to understand the Hebrew Bible properly. Ibn Ezra combined a passion for the plain sense of the verse with a reverence for the Rabbis as transmitters of reliable tradition. His most widely used works are his commentaries on the Torah, which are admired for their depth and penetration into the mysteries of the Hebrew language, the text of the Torah and the meaning of the mitzvot.

Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra, poet, philosopher, and mathematician, was one of the outstanding personalities produced by medieval Jewry. His chief claim to fame, however, is his commentary on the Bible. The latter is printed in all major editions of the Hebrew Scriptures and influenced other luminaries such as Maimonides, Rabbi David Kimchi, Nahmanides, Ralbag, Abravanel, and all serious students of the Hebrew Bible, for whom his works are essential. Ibn Ezras commentary on the first two Books of Psalms is now available in English for the first time, accompanied by a thorough annotation. Students of Scripture at all levels will find this a valuable tool for their studies of Scripture and Jewish thought.

Abraham ben Meir Ibn Ezra was born in or around 1093, in Tudela, Navarre. Several members of his family appear to have held important posts in Andalusia.
Abraham Ben Meir Ibn Ezra educated in various fields of Jewish and Arab cultures. A man of many diversities, he left his mark in poetry (secular and religious) and philosophy, grammar, medicine, mathematics, astronomy and astrology. Above all, Ibn Ezra was an active traveler. Due to the invasion of the almohad, he was forced to leave Al-Indalus around 1140 and then traveled north of Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Italy, France and England before attempting to return to the Iberian Peninsula.
The "Italian" period of his life was very bright. Thus, during the years of his life in Rome (1140-1145) he wrote a commentary on the Old Testament biblical books of Ecclesiastes and Job. Moving to Lucca, he continued to interpret the biblical texts, writing there comments on the book of the prophet Isaiah and the Pentateuch. After settling in Mantua, in 1146 he created a work on the grammar of Hebrew, becoming one of its founders. In Verona, he created works on the calendar system of chronology, on arithmetic, and one more on grammar.
He traveled a lot and wrote also while in France. There he wrote a number of other comments on Bible.
With regard to the date and place of his death, the versions again diverge: he died between 1165 and 1167. It is considered this occurred on the Iberian peninsula in Calahorra. According to another version, he died on the Greek island of Rhodes.
