Maimonides’ Grand Epistle to the Scholars of Lunel. Charles H. Sheer

Maimonides’ Grand Epistle to the Scholars of Lunel - Charles H. Sheer

The first annotated translation of the entire epistle. In his Iggeret Maimonides shares his inner torment as he sought to balance his study of Jewish tradition with his engagement in worldly wisdom and philosophy. Written in a style that will engage both scholars and non-scholars. Did Maimonides the philosopher and legal scholar also compose poetic works? Exciting research which develops its conclusions from a rich variety of sources. A carefully researched examination of Hebrew poetic compositions of the Late Middle Ages.
