NAGARI (NAʿARI), MOSES BEN JUDAH
NAGARI (Naʿari ), MOSES BEN JUDAH (14th century), philosopher. Nagari probably lived in Rome around 1300. He is the author of Ma'amar ba-Ma'arekhet, an index to Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed, which also contains explanations of philosophical terms. This work was printed together with questions on the Guide addressed to Isaac *Abrabanel by Saul Cohen (Venice, 1574; reprinted in Abrabanel, Ketavim al-Maḥashevet Yisrael, vol. 3, 1967). Steinschneider suggested that Nagari's name should be read Naʿari and that he was a member of the Ne'arim (Adolescentoli) family. He also corrected certain mistaken notions about Nagari (Cat Bod, 1834).
