The classic translation of the text exploring the relationship between Jewish theology and Aristotelian philosophy.

This monument of rabbinical exegesis written at the end of the twelfth century has exerted an immense and continuing influence upon Jewish thought. Its aim is to liberate people from the tormenting perplexities arising from their understanding of the Bible according only to its literal meaning.

This edition contains extensive introductions by Shlomo Pines and Leo Strauss, a leading authority on Maimonides.

“This work by Pines and Strauss must be recognized as one of the most important contributions to the study of Maimonides. . . . The translation is of a quality unequalled in a modern language.” —Journal of the History of Philosophy
