I have yet to see a list of them (or don’t remember it if I did).
Things they learn in Seminary(a), Seminary(b),Seminary(c), Seminary(d), Seminary(e), Seminary(f) and Seminary(z)
a=(YeshivaWorld.CoffeeRoom.SeminaryThreads).Seminary.List.Random.Name
b=a.next
c=b.next
d=c.next
e=d.next
f=e.next
z=f.next
Math, Physics, Astronomy, Logic, Musicology, Measurement and Medicine.
Isn’t it in Pirkei Avos? Or are you talking about something else?
Liberal Arts and branches of Social science were excluded on purpose
Unless you put some under the umbrella of musicology
Math is more
abstract than
Measurement
Google yielded a few varied results in books:
From a book titled Sefer Yetzireh by Rav Aryeh Kaplan: The seven Sciences – Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, and Astronomy. Footnote for source not available for free.
From Encyclopedia of Jewish Medical Ethics: A Compilation of Jewish Medical Law … By Avraham Steinberg: The medieval scientists listed seven branches of knowledge – Logic, Mathematics, Measurements, Natural Science, Astronomy, Music, and Theology. The footnote claims this is from Rabbenu Bachya on Avos, end of Perek 3, and Maharal Nesivos Olam, Netiv Hatorah, Perek 14.
Far be for us to disagree with Chazal,
but if are there Others that we consider of import, what are they?
Lilmod, it is in their commentaries to commentary on Pirkei Avot ch. 3. BTW Comlink, ???? us feminine so it is ??? ?????? (sheiva chochmot).
I was talking about something else- the 7 signs of a chacham vs a shoteh (I think it’s 7). I thought that’s what he meant.
But thanks for answering me.
