The transmission of philosophy and sciencie in the Jewish communities of the Middle Ages can be approached from two perspectives. From one, the Jews are seen as the conveyors of knowledge between different cultures, and from another as transmitters amongst the various Hebrew communities, giving the Jewish people the dual role of transmitters as well as receptors. In this paper we analyze both of them in an extensive period: from the VIII century until the late XV, and with a geographical range stretching from Baghdad to southern Europe.
