I, 81, n. 5; Léwinger, Der Traum, 20; Simon Duran (d. 1444) defended at length the reliability of dreams even in questions of strict science, as medicine and mathematics. Many questions in the science of medi- cine, he asserted, have been solved in dreams by the famous physicians Galen, Ibn Zohr, and others (Malter, op. cit., 203); cf. also Isidore Epstein, The Re- sponsa of Rabbi Simon b. Zemah Duran, London 1930, 23 f., 39, 99.

4a-b, 6b; Orhot Zadikim, 63a; cf. Hai Gaon’s remark (Ta‘am Zekenim, 58): “Concerning what you have said, that every man has his own genius of dreams who appears as an old man to one, as a youth to another, we have heard that this is so, but we have not ourself beheld such an apparition, nor have we spoken with anyone who has.”

Similar explanations of the causes of dreams are to be found in medieval Christian works; see Thorndike, II, 412, where the theories of Bartholomew of England (13th century) are given; he believed that dreams are produced by divine inspira- tion, by angelic administration, by diabolic illusion, or by natural and bodily causes. See also Lowinger, op. cit., 8, and Pitron Halamot, I, 1:1, pp. 6-7, for slightly different analyses of the causes of dreams, and Thorndike, I, 358, for the view of Philo Judzus.
