Goren Nachon is a collection of three classic philosophic works: ibn Gabirol’s Tikun Middoth HaNephesh; ibn Ishak’s Musarei HaPhilosophim; and Sepher HaTapu’ach, attributed to Aristotle. All three works were translated from Arabic. Ibn Gabirol was translated by Judah ibn Tibbon; Bin Ishak by Judah al-Harizi, and pseudo-Aristotle by Abraham b. Chasdai Halevi. The editor Joseph Aschkenazi of Padua added subject headings and names of scholars cited in each paragraph (noted alongside the margins). See Waxman, Vol. I, pp. 355-358; EJ, Vol. II, cols. 628-629; VII, cols. 236, 238, 243.
