His Sefer Mazref (tr. by Sir Herman Gollancz, The Ethical Treatises of Berachya, 1902) is a summary of the ethical views of Saadia and several other Gaonim Gaonim [Heb.,=excellencies], title given to the heads of the Jewish academies at Sura and Pumbedita in Babylonia immediately following the period of the Saboraim until the middle of the 11th cent.
