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