One of Maimonides' classic works, the Treatise on Resurrection is an extended discussion of resurrection, the immortality of the soul, the mysteries of the Messianic Age, and the World to Come. The Treatise on Resurrection was controversial in its day for its departure from accepted Jewish theology. Despite opposition to his ideas, Maimonides defended his view with skill and confidence. Fred Rosner's notes provide the background necessary to fully understand Maimonides' position, and his translation is an articulate rendering of this influential text, which validates resurrection as one of...

The Guide for the Perplexed (Hebrew: Moreh Nevuchim, Arabic: dalalat al ha'irin is one of the major works of Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, better known as Maimonides, or the Rambam.
It is the main source of his philosophical views. The main purpose of the work is to expound on Maaseh Bereishit and Maaseh Merkavah (the sections of Jewish mysticism dealing with Creation from Genesis and the passage of the Chariot from Ezekiel), these being the two main mystical texts in the Tanakh.

Written in the 12th century, Moses Maimonides' "Guide for the Perplexed" was a long letter to one of his rabbinical students discussing a variety of philosophical matters concerning theology. In part, the text seeks to clarify some of the contradictions between the literal meaning of the Torah and its philosophical explications. A strong influence on philosophical discourse since its publication, the text continues to interest contemporary philosophers and theologians.

"On Rules Regarding the Practical Part of the Medical Art "was lost to scholars for centuries before it was discovered in the Biblioteca Nacional de Espana by the great bio-bibliographer Moritz Steinschneider, who initially thought it was simply another copy of "On Asthma." The publication of this new translation marks the first time the Arabic manuscript and Gerrit Bos s English version have been available to a modern audience in any form. It is in Maimonides s favored aphoristic format and contains some unique advice on serious abdominal wounds, which is most likely a reflection on...
