mtl613.bsky.social @mtl613.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The two you're thinking of are probably Rambam and Ramban, right? Probably because the names are so close that the patronymic solves a problem. (In Hebrew, it's solved by saying RAMbam and RamBAN) Off the top of my head, there's at least one more (Gersonides). Seems confines to an era (=Rishonim) 2101

mtl613.bsky.social @mtl613.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Good read for people who experience psychosis, maybe even more so for friends and family. And ppl who enjoy #graphicmedicine.

mtl613.bsky.social @mtl613.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it's very *real* (even as a fantasy), especially where it comes to the experience of psychosis.
