The Hebrew translations of the book of causes.

The origin of the Hebrew translations. pp. 305—318.

Serachja ben Isaak ben Schealtiel from Barcelona translated our book from Arabic into Hebrew around 1284 in Rome 305.

Through Serachja's younger contemporary Hillel ben Samuel ben Elasar, the same was translated from Latin into Hebrew and commented upon at the same time 308. Hillel's Tagmule ha-Nefesch Rewards of the Soul 311.

A third translation, likewise from the Latin, was produced by Jehuda ben Mose Romano in the first half of the fourteenth century 312. The commentary, which is combined with this translation in some manuscripts, is likely a compilation of scholia that Jehuda took from Latin interpreters (Albert, Thomas, Aegidius) and translated into Hebrew 314. Jehuda's explanation of the creation chapter 315.

Finally, Eli ben Josef Xabillo, in the second half of the fifteenth century, also left behind a Hebrew translation of our book from the Latin 316.
