the existence of job is doubted by abba mari, as by some of the talmudic rabbis. he says that, at any rate, the book bearing his name was not written by job, as some authorities in the talmud admit, but by moses. job's four friends represent in their personalities four different views of evil in the world. eliphaz, representative of tradition, denies altogether the reality of evil, in agreement with deut. xxxii. 4. bildad, on the other hand, does not deny its reality, but holds, as-if he had been the loyal disciple of the old rabbis and motazilites, that god allows the just to suffer here in order to reward them the more in the future life. zophar, too, considers evil a reality; with the ascharites, with whom many rabbis agree, he insists on man's ignorance of the divine will, which finite man ought not to investigate. elihu is of the same opinion as eliphaz, but with the difference that what eliphaz accepts as a matter of faith, elihu demonstrates philosophically. it can thus be seen that abba mari was a loyal student of maimonides, and that, like him, he considered revelation and true philosophy as identical. whether a philosophical and allegorical commentary on the song of songs, in manuscript in the cambridge and oxford libraries and ascribed to him, is really his, or should be credited to moses of narbonne, with whom abba mari is elsewhere confounded, is uncertain. the same doubt holds concerning the hebrew translation of gazzali's "tendencies of philosophers," which is ascribed to abba mari, but possibly also belongs to the aforesaid moses. but there is no reason for steinschneider's doubt concerning a munich manuscript, containing the introduction to the first book of euclid, with the superscription, "written by abba mari, philosopher and teacher of truth."; it certainly belongs to our abba mari, and the words abba mari are not to be translated "my lord and father," for these two words would otherwise have their proper place at the beginning and not at the end of the sentence. abba mari also wrote "refutations," in which he assailed joseph caspi's "book of secrets." this book, with the exception of a few quotations from it in other writers, has disappeared.

abba jose ben hanan or abba jose ben hanin (hebrew; aramaic: abba bar hanan) was a tanna who lived in judea during the 1st century ce. his career spanned the last decades before the destruction of the second temple and was a contemporary of eliezer ben jacob and of hanina ben antigonus, with both of whom he is mentioned in a halakhic discussion. his name occurs also as "abba jose ben hanan," or "ben johanan" (which is erroneously followed by "ish yerushalayim"), "abba joseph," and"abba issi." jose's halakot are also mentioned in sifre, numbers 8, mid. ii. 6, and sotah 20b. he transmitted an aggadah of abba kohen bardela and one of shmuel hakatan. a sentence of jose's, rebuking the priestly families that acted violently toward the people, transmitted by abba saul ben batnit, reads as follows: "woe unto me for the house of boethus and their rods; woe unto me for the house of hanin and their calumnious whispering; woe unto me for the house of qatros and their pens; woe unto me for the house of ishmael ben phabi and their fists."
