Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and enigmatic passages of the Hebrew Bible, particularly those describing the creation and the Divine Chariot, a recurring symbol of God's majesty and power. The author, a learned scholar of his time, aims to bridge the gap between the literal interpretations of these texts and the philosophical understandings that were emerging in the 12th and 13th centuries. The author acknowledges that his contemporaries found such interpretations unsettling, often viewing them as heretical or a challenge to the established interpretations of the scriptures. He also highlights the ancient Jewish tradition of secrecy surrounding these mystical texts, suggesting that revealing their inner meanings could be dangerous. Despite this, the author argues for a more nuanced understanding of these passages. He explains the allegorical nature of the biblical descriptions and seeks to reconcile the apparent contradictions between the literal interpretations and the more abstract philosophical interpretations. The book delves into themes of free will, divine providence, the nature of evil, and the role of the Law in shaping human morality. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the relationship between religious texts, philosophical ideas, and the human search for meaning. It allows readers to see how ancient Jewish thinkers sought to reconcile their faith with the new intellectual currents of their time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Hardcover. Ex-Library. 3 volumes. Quarto. Continuous pagination of the first two volumes. lxxxviii. 524 (89)pp. Beige greenish cloth with black lettering to covers and spines. The Guide of the Perplexed is Maimonides' best known work. This specific edition was edited by Yehuda Kauffmann [Even Shemuel], a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, whose Neo-Kantian outlook is apparent in his commentary and remarks. Further remarkable is the easy readable regular Hebrew print [unlike the "Rashi"- print this work is normally printed in]. Text in Hebrew. Bindings with some sunning to spines of vol. 1&3. Front and back covers with some light smudges and scratches, endpapers with aging. Heads and tails slightly bumped. Some pages with light sunning to edges. Bindings in overall good, interiors in good condition. The Arabic original Dalalat al-Hairin was completed about 1200 in Cairo, Egypt. Shortly therafter, it was translated into Hebrew as The Moreh Nevukhim. The first translation [upon which this edition draws from], a literal one, was made by Samuel Ibn Tibbon with Maimonides' advice and completed in 1204. Maimonides wrote the Guide for someone who was firm in his religious beliefs and practices, but having studied philosophy, was perplexed by the literal meanings of Biblical anthropomorphic and antropopathic terms. [Hence the title] Maimonides also undertook here the explanation of Biblical parables. Thus, the Guide is devoted to the philosophic interpretation of Scripture, or to use Maimonides' terms, to the "science of Law in its true sense" (quoted in Encyclopedia Judaica, p. 771).…
