Hiwi al-Balkhi
text:
Ḥiwi al-Balkhi was an exegete and Biblical critic of the last quarter of the ninth century born in Balkh, Khorasan. It is not entirely clear whether Hiwi was a Jew, as suggested by Schechter (1901), or whether he was perhaps a member of a gnostic Christian sect. Some claim that he was a member of the ancient Bukharan Jewish community of Central Asia.
