[edit] date problem

Top of page states Avraham was born in 1168; Maimonides died in 1204. 1204-1168 = 36. But the page states "... at the age of only eighteen." Rpresser 17:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

The Chabad.org reference states Avraham was born in 1185, which would fix the problem. None of the other referenced works give a birthdate. I will change the page. Rpresser 17:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

LC authority file gives birth date as 1186, which I changed (also aligned the birth category with it)--FeanorStar7 08:29, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rename article?

With the words "Avraham" and "Rambam" both being Hebrew(ish), the "son of" grates a bit. Why not go the rest of the way, and rename the article "Avraham ben Rambam" or "Avraham bar Rambam"? Rpresser 16:05, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
