Who

Moses Sephardi, a Jewish scholar and physician of Huesca in Aragon, baptized in 1106 with King Alfonso I as his godfather, and later physician to Henry I of England. His Dialogue against the Jews, cast as a debate between his old and new selves, and the Disciplina clericalis, a collection of Arabic tales, were read all over Europe. Aquinas cites the Dialogue in the Catena Aurea for Jewish tradition and for the Hebrew of the Old Testament.
