"By analyzing Todrosi’s language and terminology and making his Hebrew translation available for the first time, Berzin’s study will enable scholars to trace the borrowings from Todrosi’s translations in Jewish sources, shedding light on the transmission process, translation theory and praxis, and the impact of Avicenna’s philosophy on Jewish medieval scientist/philosophers. Recommended for all academic libraries with Jewish studies collections and upper level graduates." David B. Levy in AJL Reviews 5, 4 (2015).
