Book Description Softcover. Condition: vg. First edition. Quarto. [8], 380 pp. Original illustrated wraps. Photographic frontispiece of Henry J. Leir. Eighth volume in the "Henry J. Leir Library of Sephardica: Text and Studies" series. Fascinating work published in 2004 on the eve of commemorating the 800th anniversary of Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon's death and presenting the English version of a volume of folktales about Maimonides which has been published in Spanish by Tamar Alexander and Elene Romero in 1985 on the occasion of the 850th anniversary of his birth in Cordoba. Accompanied by a foreword by Moshe Lazar. This work is profusely illustrated with numerous b/w photographic reproductions of documents. Book in fine condition. R. Moses Maimonides (Rambam) was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure, both during his lifetime and after his death, but generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba, Spain but fled as a child due to Almohad persecution of Jews. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi, physician and philosopher. His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah, his only work not in Arabic, still carries canonical authority, particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community, as the codification of Talmudic law. His other work includes a commentary on the Mishnah entitled Kitab al-Siraj, Kitab al-Fara'I, a book on precepts, and the philosophical work Dalalat al-Ha'irin, known in Hebrew as the Moreh Nevukhim, The Guide to the Perplexed. The major premise is an attempted philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge and explaining away anthropomorphic and antropopathic terms in the Bible. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages. Seller Inventory # 26652

Original smyth-sewn cloth with decorations in gold on front board and gilt lettering on spine housed in matching slipcase. The Constantinople Pentateuch was printed in 1547 by Eliezer Soncino.

The oldest surviving Ladino version in Hebrew script, this work presents the text as it was commonly used by Sephardic Jews in the Ottoman Empire, from the time of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, up to the 18th century when it was replaced by a new Ladino version edited by Abraham Assa (1739). Preface and Introduction in English; Ladino text in Hebrew script and romanized transliteration. Scarce work with slipcase. Binding and interior in overall near to fine condition.
