More than in ibn Ezra’s astrological worldview, this quotation expands the presidency of Saturn over more specific and very important areas of Judaism. It adds to the general view of ibn Ezra concerning Sabbath and the Jews, as well as the Torah, the Temple and the Hebrew language. This passage, which reflects ibn Wagqar’s somewhat earlier stance, amounts to a fairly comprehensive Saturnization of Judaism as it was disseminated in verbatim citations just a generation after his death by the two other Castilian thinkers, ibn Zarza and ibn Motot.
However, the most powerful discussions of the relation between Saturn and maleficent powers are found in the mid fourteenth century, in the supercommentary on ibn Ezra by Shlomo Franco, who describes this planet as the ‘great Satan’, and the ‘great maleficent power’, all this in contexts that clearly mention Sabbath and the Jews.” Demonic powers are mentioned explicitly in connection with Saturn in another fourteenth-century follower of ibn Ezra’s thought, Shem Tov ibn Major: ‘because the matters of the demons had been attributed to Saturn ... Capricorn was the house of Saturn” and behold the demons had been called goats’.”
Goats had previously been described as a representation of demons in rabbinic sources and in ibn Ezra,” and the biblical scapegoat was indeed an animal presented to a demonic power, ‘Azazel. In fact, this nexus between demons and Saturn is already found in the second half of Ashkenazi’s thirteenth-century Commentary on Sefer Yetzirah, discussed above, which reflects much earlier traditions, as was obvious from the passage of Alcabitius also discussed above.
