6, c, lo, b.
20 SAADIA S POLEMIC Summing up all the information that has been gathered concerning Hiwi from 1829 until now, we may say that he flourished about 850-875 and hailed from Balkh, a town in "Old Bactria. " Coming under the influence of Zoroastrianism, and espec- ially under the influence of a Persian work known to us by the title of Shikand Gunidnik Vijdr (" Doubt- dispelling Explanations"), written after the middle, but before the end, of the ninth century, ^^ he pro- pounded two hu...ndred questions relating to the Bible and to Jewish philosophy and theology. It may also be that some of these questions were based upon the various Biblical inconsistencies mentioned in the Midrashim. It is further suggested that, as a result of his critical attitude, he may have made a sort of expurgated Bible, intended for the use of children, from which all objectionable passages were elimi- nated and which was in vogue in the schools until Saadia interfered. On account of his skepticism, he was attacked by the Rabbanites as well as the Karaites, and Saadia even went to the length of writing a complete refutation of the two hundred questions.
