THE AGE OF CHASDAI.

THE AGE OF CHASDAI.
The Omayyad dynasty of Moham-
medan Spain reached the height of
its successful career during the
reigns of Abder-Rahman III (912-
96D, and his son Al-Hakam II (961-
976). During these two brilliant
reigns Mohammedan Spain was a
veritable oasis in the midst Of the
dreary wilderness of the medieval
barbarism of Europe In it learn
ing, poetry, the arts and the indus
tries were cultivated as in no other
country. The khalifs themselves
were the most generous patrons of
literature and art Scholars and poets
stood nearest to the throne, and
basked in the sunshine of royal ia
vor. These reigns mark the begin
ming of the classic period of Moham-
medan culture in Spain.
No less brilliant was the Jewish
culture that had it's beginning about
the same time, and flourished along
side of the other being formulated
by it, and stimulated by the most
favorable position the Jews now oc-
cupied in that country. The hege-
mony of the Jewish schools and
scholars of Babylonia was soon to
be transferred to those of Andalusia,
which was henceforth to be the
center of Judaism in many ways.
The material basis of the new cul-
tural development was the high de-
gree of prosperity, the result of in
dustrial and commercial achieve
ment, attained by the Jews. The cap
ital city, Cordova, boosted of several
thousand rich Jewish families who
spent money literally on many COM
munal undertakings. They freely in
dulged their personal tastes for COM
fort, elegance, and magificent display,
vieing with the Arabs in the manifes-
tation of chivalrous pride.
Among those chiefly instrumental
in the planting, development and
spread of Jewish culture in Spain at
this period of our history was Chas-
dai Ibn Shaprut, of the noble family
of Ibn Ezra. 1t was not so much
by his own learning and talents, or

by his scholarly and literary activ-
ity, but rather by the encouragement
and support he gave to the Jewish
scholars and literati of his day, by
the position of power and influence
he occupied at the court of the
khalif, by his wise conduct of af-
fairs as head of the Jewish COM
munity, that the Jewish spirit was
enabled to bring forth its first ripe
and luscious fruit in Mohammedan
Spain. Not that Chasdai himself
was not man of high attachments,
of versatility and talent. But his
time was too much occupied with
communal and political affairs, with
service to his monarch and his state,
to allow him to devote himself to
the MUSES.. And SO he assumed the
part of most generous Maecenas
in the cultural life of his people.
His father had moved from Jaen
to the neighboring Cordova, where
he accumulated considerable wealth,
and became liberal patron of those
engaged in communal or scholarly
work. Young Chasdai was initiated
in all the branches of knowledge
cultivated at that time, among them
medicine, poetry, and statecraft
He became proficient in Hebrew
and Arabic, and was familiar with
Latin. Abder-Rahman III, always in
search of men of ability and char
acter whom he might employ in the
affairs of state, discovered in Chas-
dai one eminently fitted for diplo-
matte negotiations. He employed
him as agent and interpreter in his
diplomatic relations with the small
Christian courts of northern SPAIN
While occupying that position
Chasdai at one time induced king
Sancho Ramirez of Leon, and Toda,
queen of Navarro, together with the
mobiles and the clergy of the two
states to visit Cordova and conclude
a permanent treaty of peace with
the khalif. At times he was raised
to still more honored positions, and
while not given the official titles
that went with them, he acted as
minister of foreign affairs, receiv-
ing foreign ambassadors and ex-

changing gifts with them on be-
half Of his monarch, and at the same
time as minister of trade and fin
ance, all taxes and revenues for the
treasury passing through his hands.
It was but natural that such a
man should be considered by the
Jewish community of Cordova as
it's logical head, leader and repre-
sentative. But his fame spread be-
yond the confines of his own coun-
try, and reached the farthest Jewish
congregations. A renowned tai
mudic school of Babylonia, until
then the center of rabbinic learning,
honored him, in recognition of his
generous contributions, with the
title of Resi- Kalla, "President of
the College," altho his talmudic
knowledge was not extensive. He
carried on a correspondence with
Jewish scholars on questions of sci
ence and Jewish learning, and al
ways interceded on behalf of his
brethren with the ambassadors from
different countries.
His most distinguished service to
his brethren of subsequent genera
tons, and to Jewish history, was his
interest in the Jewish Kozer King
dom, report Of which he received
from ambassadors from KhOrassan,
confirmed by Byzantine ambassa-
doris, who gave him further Informal
ton about Joseph, the king of the
Kozars, and the character of the
people. The difficulty of getting in
to communication with the king was
overcome by Chasdai sending let
ter with delegation from Slavonic
kingdom on the lower Danube, in
which delegation were two Jews
who acted as interpreters. Through
the instrumentality of another Jew
the letter finally reached King
Joseph. He promptly replied to
Chasdai, telling him all about his
dominions and his people, his great
ness and power, and the interesting
story of his peoples conversion to
Judaism This correspondence is
among the most precious documents
of Jewish history. The Kozar king
dom did not survive very long after
that
Of no less value was Chasdai's
service to the Arabic culture of his
time. AS usual, he played an i'm
portant part in receiving the en-
bassy from the Byzantine emperor,
Constantine VII, who sought dip
lomatic alliance with the khalif of
