In fact, he left Granada <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ciceronegranada.com\/en\/what-see-granada\/\">(Things to do in Granada)<\/a> in 1148 at only 28 years old, yet the mark he left was forever. His solid, upright statue has dominated two streets, <strong>Calle Colcha and Calle Pavaneras<\/strong>, since 1988, when Antonio Jara held the mayor\u2019s office. Tibon\u2019s translations from Arabic to Hebrew made it possible to pass on a great amount of very valuable knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>His <strong>lineage<\/strong> of intellectuals made it to the 20th century via philologist and historian Guiterre Tib\u00f3n, who died in Mexico in 1999. He was the one who donated the statue of his ancestor which we now see daily. According to what was published by journalist Daniel Rodr\u00edguez Moya in La Opini\u00f3n de Granada, this man, originally from Milan, was one of the foremost academics in Mexico and its culture in addition to being the inventor of a portable typewriter patented by Olivetti which resulted in considerable profits. Today his legacy is kept alive by his likeness which welcomes people to the old Jewish quarter of Realejo, and by all of the translators that remind the patron of his trade. Among them there is the \u201cLos Tib\u00f3nidas\u201d group, an association of associations campaigning to raise awareness about the profession and which are responsible for translators being present at Granada\u2019s Feria del Libro (Book Fair).<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/granadaimedia.com\/%C2%BFquien-era-yehuda-ben-saul-ibn-tibon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Granada iMedia<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author: Luis Arronte<\/p>\n<p>Photo: <a href=\"http:\/\/esculturayarte.com\/025347\/Yehuda-Ibn-Tibon-en-Granada.html#.UVqOx6Lxrq0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">esculturayarte.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He dominates the entrance to our quarter of Realejo and is often mistaken for some centuries old Arabic poet.
