Summary
Education in general can be characterized as the interactions among four “commonplaces,” that is, four factors that are usually present in educational situations and enterprises: the learner, the instructor, the milieu, and the subject matter. It is our intention here to marshal the sources that illuminate the assumptions that Jewish communities and individuals living in the medieval Islamic world made about these factors.
