Death date[edit]

The Library of Congress authority file gives:

Ben Shem Tov, Joseph, ca. 1400-ca. 1460

with a citation to the following:

Crescas, Ḥ. Sefer Biṭul ʻiḳre Notsrim, 1990: t.p. (Yosef Ben Shem Ṭov) added t.p. (Joseph Ben Shem Tov [in rom.])

Probably the same person; this would mean he died 20 years earlier than Wiki article suggests. Not sure if this justifies changing categories--FeanorStar7 (talk) 07:48, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
