Abba Mari possessed considerable Talmudic knowledge and some poetical talent ; but his zeal for the Law made him an agitator and a persecutor of all the advocates of liberal thought.

By Talmudic times the practice of levirate marriage was deemed secondary in preference to halizah because of the brother's questionable intentions ; indeed, to marry a brother's widow for her beauty was regarded by Abba Saul as equivalent to incest.

Abba means " father " in Aramaic, and appears both translated and untranslated in the Gospels.

Jesus often referred to God as " father ", and Jesus ' use of the Aramaic word Abba survives untranslated in Mark 14: 36 ( in most English translations ).

Abba, an originally Aramaic form borrowed into the Greek Old Testament as a name ( 2Chr 29: 1 ), common in Mishnaic Hebrew and still used in Modern Hebrew ( written Αββα in Greek, and ' abbā in Aramaic ), is immediately followed by the Greek equivalent ( Πατηρ ) with no explicit mention of it being a translation.

In the preface, Abba Mari explains his object in collecting the correspondence ; and in the treatise which follows he shows that the study of philosophy, useful in itself as a help toward the acquisition of the knowledge of God, requires great caution, lest we be misled by the Aristotelian philosophy or its false interpretation, as regards the principles of creation ex nihilo and divine individual providence.

A response of Abba Mari on a ritual question is contained in MS. Ramsgate, No. 136 ; and Zunz ( Literaturgeschichte der Synagogalen Poesie, p. 498 ), mentions a ḳinah composed by Abba Mari.
