Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1881, this vintage book contains a translation of Maimonides' "Dalalat al-Hairin", better known by the Hebrew title "Moreb Nebuchim" or, in English, "The Guide for the Perplexed". It includes a short Life of Maimonides, an analysis of the work in its entirety, and a translation of the First Part from the Arabic with explanatory and critical notes. Contents include: "Dedicatory Letter", "The Object of the Guide", "On Similes", "Directions for the Study of this Work", "The Homonymity of Zelem", "On Genesis III", "On Tabnit and Temunab", "On Raah, Hibbit, and Bazah", "On Exod", "On Yalad", "On Kisse", "On Kam", etc. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in important Hebrew works and it is not to be missed by collectors. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
