Some of his works (such as the Hegyon ha-Nefesh and the Megillat ha-Megalleh) remind of the structure and oratory of sermons. According to Joseph Dan (1986, 26), about the Hegyon ha-Nefesh, “Bar Hijja’s book is the first Hebrew independent homiletical work written in Europe”.

Estoy pensando en una nueva situación de aprendizaje, a ver qué os parece: cómo diseñar trenes que quepan por los túneles por los que van a pasar.
