Maimonides Knihy

Zo židovskej arabštiny a hebrejštiny přeložili, k vydaniu pripravili a úvodné štúdie napísali Daniel Boušek a Dita Rukriglová. Publikácia je reprezentatívnym výberom jedenástich listov židovského rabína, lekára a filozofa Mošeho ben Majmūna – Maimonida (1138 Córdoba – 1204 Fustāt). Najviac sú zastúpené texty s nábožensko-právnou tematikou (list o prenasledovaní, list do Jemenu, listy sudcom Jefetovi a Pinhasovi), ďalej kratšie filozofické traktáty (pojednanie o zmŕtvychvstaní, list o rozhodnutí hviezd) a tiež osobná korešpondencia (z listov Josefovi ben Jehudovi a Šmu’elu ibn Tibonovi).

Complete text of crucial medieval work of philosophy: reconciliation of Aristotle and Scripture. Includes Life of Maimonides, analysis of The Guide, indexes of quotations from Scripture, Talmud. Maimonides, brilliant forerunner of Aquinas.

The present volume contains Maimonides most significant ethical works, newly translated from the original sources by Profs. Raymond I., Weiss and Charles E. Butterworth, well-known Maimonides scholars. Previous translations have often been inadequate - either because they were not based on the best possible texts or from a lack of precision. That deficiency has been remedied in the present text. The translations are based on the latest scholarship and have been made with a view toward maximum accuracy and readability. moreover, the long 'Letter to Joseph' has been translated into English for the first time.

In this book, Hermann Hedwig Bernard presents an overview of Jewish creed and ethics, drawing on selections from the Yad Hachazakah, a code of Jewish law compiled by Moses Maimonides in the 12th century. Bernard provides commentary on Maimonides' work and offers insights into the principles that have guided Jewish thought and practice throughout history.
