In the 12th century, Moses Maimonides wrote a long letter to one of his rabbinical students discussing a variety of philosophical matters concerning theology. The text tries to clarify some of the contradictions between the literal meaning of the Torah and its philosophical explications. This work is still of interest to contemporary philosophers and theologians.

ÒBefore the sun of Eli had set the sun of Samuel had risen.Ó Before the voice of the prophets had ceased to guide the people, the Interpreters of the Law, the Doctors of the Talmud, had commenced their labours, and before the Academies of Sura and of Pumbadita were closed, centres of Jewish thought and learning were already flourishing in the far West. The circumstances which led to the transference of the head-quarters of Jewish learning from the East to the West in the tenth century are thus narrated in the Sefer ha-kabbalah of Rabbi Abraham ben David: ÒAfter the death of Hezekiah, the head of the Academy and Prince of the Exile, the academies were closed and no new Geonim were appointed. But long before that time Heaven had willed that there should be a discontinuance of the pecuniary gifts which used to be sent from Palestine, North Africa and Europe. Heaven had also decreed that a ship sailing from Bari should be captured by Ibn Romahis, commander of the naval forces of Abd-er-rahman al-nasr. Four distinguished Rabbis were thus made prisonersÑRabbi _ushiel, father of Rabbi _ananel, Rabbi Moses, father of Rabbi _anok, Rabbi Shemarjahu, son of Rabbi El_anan, and a fourth whose name has not been recorded. They were engaged in a mission to collect subsidies in aid of the Academy in Sura. The captor sold them as slaves; Rabbi _ushiel was carried to Kairuan, R. Shemarjahu was left in Alexandria, and R. Moses was brought to Cordova. These slaves were ransomed by their brethren and were soon placed in important positions. When Rabbi Moses was brought to Cordova, it was supposed that he was uneducated. In that city there was a synagogue known at that time by the name of Keneset ha-midrash, and Rabbi Nathan, renowned for his great piety, was the head of the congregation. The members of the community used to hold meetings at which the Talmud was read and discussed. One day when Rabbi Nathan was expounding the Talmud and was unable to give a satisfactory explanation of the passage under discussion, Rabbi Moses promptly removed the difficulty and at the same time answered several questions which were submitted to him. Thereupon R. Nathan thus addressed the assembly:ÑÔI am no longer your leader; that stranger in sackcloth shall henceforth be my teacher, and you shall appoint him to be your chief.Õ The admiral, on hearing of the high attainments of his prisoner, desired to revoke the sale, but the king would not permit this retraction, being pleased to learn that his Jewish subjects were no longer dependent for their religious instruction on the schools in the East.Ó Henceforth the schools in the West asserted their independence, and even surpassed the parent institutions. The Caliphs, mostly opulent, gave every encouragement to philosophy and poetry; and, being generally liberal in sentiment, they entertained kindly feelings towards their Jewish subjects. These were allowed to compete for the acquisition of wealth and honour on equal terms with their Mohammedan fellow-citizens. Philosophy and poetry were consequently cultivated by the Jews with the same zest as by the Arabs. Ibn Gabirol, Ibn _asdai, Judah ha-levi, _ananel, Alfasi, the Ibn Ezras, and others who flourished in that period were the ornament of their age, and the pride of the Jews at all times. The same favourable condition was maintained during the reign of the Omeyades; but when the Moravides and the Almohades came into power, the horizon darkened once more, and misfortunes threatened to destroy the fruit of several centuries. Amidst this gloom there appeared a brilliant luminary which sent forth rays of light and comfort: this was Moses Maimonides.

The classic translation of this most important medieval Jewish text, presented in one volume for the first time. The twelfth-century Arabic text The Guide of the Perplexed is a monument of biblical exegesis and is widely regarded as one of the most important works of Jewish philosophy. Written by the Sephardic Jewish rabbi Moses ben Maimon (commonly known as Maimonides), the Guide takes the form of a letter to a disciple who is perplexed by the attempt to square a literalist reading of scripture with reason, science, and tradition. Maimonides' instructive response proved liberative for generations of both Jewish and Christian philosophers and continues to inspire to this day. Shlomo Pines's translation has served students and scholars for decades, and it is presented here, with Leo Strauss's influential introduction, in one volume for the first time.
