Montpellier, a city in Languedoc in southern France, had one of the most important Jewish communities of the region from the eleventh century and was a noted center of Jewish medicine and philosophy. In the early thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries it was a focal point of the Maimonidean Controversy over the study of philosophy, involving figures such as Rabbi Solomon ben Abraham of Montpellier and members of the ibn Tibbon family of translators.
