Hardcover. 4to. 93b-165a (2)pp. Blue cloth with silver lettering to spine. Hebrew and English on opposing pages. The Mishneh Torah, subtitled Yad ha-Chazaka, is a code of Jewish law by one of the most important Jewish authorities, Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, better known as Maimonides or by the Hebrew abbreviation RaMBaM (usually written "Rambam" in English). The Mishneh Torah was compiled between 1170 and 1180, while he was living in Egypt, and is regarded as Maimonides' magnum opus. It consists of fourteen books, which subdivide into sections, chapters and paragraphs. To this day it is the only post-Talmudic work that details all of Jewish observance, including those laws which are only applicable when the Holy Temple is in place. Corners bumped, spine faded. Scuffing, rubbing, staining to boards. Hinges starting (back board). In Hebrew and English. Good 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 from the Almohad persecution. 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. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages.…

Book is clean and bright, untanned, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Gentle internal creases; leaned spine. Dust jacket shows moderate edgewear and handling marks; superficial sticker damage & surface loss on the front. -- This is a critical bilingual edition and scholarly translation of the first book of the Mishneh Torah, Maimonides' 12th-century code of Jewish law. It represents a significant academic effort to provide an accurate English rendering based on one of the most authoritative manuscripts in existence. The volume contains the Sefer Ha-Madda (The Book of Knowledge), which serves as the philosophical and theological foundation for the entire legal code. The text is edited according to the Bodleian (Oxford) Codex, which is noted for its high degree of accuracy and proximity to Maimonides' original autograph. It covers five major treatises, including Yesodei Ha-Torah (Foundations of the Torah), De'ot (Ethical Conduct), and Talmud Torah (Study of the Torah). Moses Hyamson provides extensive biblical and talmudical references, along with detailed footnotes that clarify complex linguistic and legal points. The Hebrew text and the English translation are presented side-by-side to facilitate comparative study. The book remains a primary text for the study of Maimonidean thought, particularly his integration of Aristotelian philosophy with traditional Jewish law.…
