Excerpt from Moses Ben Maimon, Sein Leben, Seine Werke und Sein Einfluss, Vol. 1: Zur Erinnerung an den Siebenhundertsten Todestag des Mainmonides Herausgegeben von der Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaft des Judentums
Eine Gesellschaft, welche sich das Ziel gesteckt hat, die Wissen schaft des Judentums zu fördern, kann die Wirksamkeit eines Mose ben Maimon nicht unberiicksichtigt lassen. Stellt er uns doch in Ieuchtendster Gestalt die Zeit vor Augen, die in erster Linie als Glanzperiode des jüdischen Geistes im Mittelalter bezeichnet wird. Mag dem einen von uns der bahnbrechende Gaon Saadja ben Joseph, dem anderen der unübertrofl'ene Überlieferungsdolmetsch Salomo ben Isac der teuerste sein, mag fiir diesen ein Jehuda Halevy, fiir jenen ein Salomo ben Gabirol derjenige sein, der ihn immer von neuem anzieht; um den Namen des Maimonsohnes schwebt eine hehre Lichtkrone, die im Mittelalter und in der Neu zeit nicht überstrahlt wurde.
