Biography

Ibn ʿUmran Musa ibn Tubi al-Israʿili Ishbili (Arabic: بن عمران موسى طوبي الإسرائيلي إشبيلي‎, Hebrew: עמראן מוסי בן טובי אלאסראילי‎), also known as Moshe ben Toviah (Hebrew: מֹשֶׁה בֵּן טוֹבִיָּה‎), was a 14th century Jewish Sevillan Arabic poet. He was the author of an poem in Maghrebi Arabic of didactic character, entitled Al-Sabʿīnīyah.. This poem was later translated into Hebrew, under the title Batte ha-Nefesh, by Solomon da Piera (c. 1363). Both the original and the translation were published by Hartwig Hirschfeld in the Annual Report of the Montefiore College (1893–94).
