Book Details
Before the Cairo Genizah's discovery, only seven words were known with certainty to have been written by Moses Maimonides. The Genizah has since yielded dozens of leaves in his own hand: drafts of the Guide for the Perplexed, responsa, personal letters, medical notes, and administrative documents.These fragments allow us not only to read his texts but to watch him write: to see where he hesitated, refined an argument, or added marginal clarifications. Through them, we observe a towering intellect at work?philosopher, halakhist, judge, physician, and community leader.This book presents the Maimonides autographs in Cambridge University Library's Genizah collection, making this exceptional material accessible to scholars and readers alike.
