Trade Review
This is a useful collection which both scholars and laymen will enjoy. -- Shlomo Brody * Tradition Online *
Based on a conference at Harvard University commemorating 800 years since the death of Maimonides, this volume presents a refreshing range of perspectives on the towering Jewish thinker. Though most of the articles deal with the philosophy of Maimonides, especially as presented in his Guide for the Perplexed, there are several important contributions to other aspects of his personality…The range of subjects discussed makes this volume relevant to a wide variety of intellectually-minded readers. Readers will be requesting it for the many important studies it contains. -- Pinchas Roth * Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter *
