Answer:
Rabbi Moshe Ben Nachmon, Nachmanides, 1194-1270. He wrote a commentary
on Torah and halachah, and more than 50 other lucid and logical works.
He participated in a disputation (theological argument with the
Catholic Church) in Barcelona in 1263; although he won, he was forced
to flee Spain, and as a result all future disputations forbade the
Jewish participants to answer frankly. At age 72 he settled in
Jerusalem, reorganized the Jewish community, and moved to Acco to
become head its Jewish community.
