Maimonides as a Biblical Interpreter
Today's Price £89.85
Although Maimonides did not write a running commentary on any book of the Bible, biblical exegesis occupies a central place in his writings, particularly in his Guide for the Perplexed.
In this book, Klein-Braslavy offers a collection of essays on several key biblical interpretations by Maimonides dealing with:
- the creation of the world
- the story of the Garden of Eden
- Jacob's dream of the ladder
- King Solomon as an esoterist philosopher
- and the problem of exoteric and esoteric biblical interpretations in the Guide
Special attention is paid to Maimonides' methods of interpretation and to his esoteric way of writing. Some of the articles in this volume were originally published in Hebrew, and appear here for the first time in an English translation.
"Sara Klein-Braslavy is one of our generation's pre-eminent interpreters of Maimonides. This volume makes available to the English reader a selection of her pioneering studies on Maimonides as interpreter of the Bible and on his art of writing. Professor Klein-Braslavy's important work is thus made available to a much wider audience and makes a substantial contribution to the reader's understanding of this crucial figure."
