This article investigates the intellectual production of Jewish authors influenced by Averroes in the
14th and 15th Centuries in northern Spain and southern France. The primary objective is to determine the
main features of Jewish Averroism in this period, and to understand it within its socio-historical context.
The outcomes suggest that there was a relationship between the new social and political trends toward
democratization and reconciliation in the heart of Jewish communities on one hand, and the growing
interest in Averroes’ original works on the other. Original here means the works that are not commentaries
or summaries of other works.
