[Avodah] Ibn Ezra on the Moon

[Poppers, Michael]

In Avodah V29n26, R'Micha noted:
> ... just learned of Abenezra crater, named in [ibn Ezra's] honor.... <
By his own [private] testimony, and with his permission, may I note that R'Micha learned this (as did I :)) from a recent VBM e-lecture -- see footnote 15 of http://vbm-torah.org/archive/parshanut/13parshanut.htm .  Thanks.

P.S. If someone wants to elucidate us on whether "Aben Ezra" means the same thing as "ibn Ezra" as well as whether "even Ezra" is merely a corruption of either "Aben Ezra" or the noun aleph-veis-nun, please do so!  Thanks.

All the best from
