The third and last of Abraham Ibn Ezra's three Hebrew treatises on the astrolabe was composed in Béziers in 1148. In 1144 or soon after, a Christian scholar, Rudolph of Bruges, composed a Latin work the construction of an astrolabe, referring to an observation he had made in the same city on April 24 of that year. The present article assembles the evidence that Béziers was a place where Jews and Christians were working together to write about and practice the science of the stars; it also proposes the identification of a certain “John David” as a patron of this activity.
