'''Maimonides''' was a Jewish [[rabbi]], born at [[Cordoba]], who is regarded by the Jews as a great philosopher, and called the “Lamp of Israel” and the “Eagle of the doctors”; he was a man of immense learning, and was physician to the [[Sultan]] of [[Egypt]]; in his relation to the Jews he ranks next to Moses, and taught them to interpret their religion in the light of reason; he wrote a “Commentary on the [[Mishna]] and the Second Law,” but his chief work is the “Moreh Nebochim,” or “[[Guide to the Perplexed]]” (1135-1204).<ref>{{Nuttall|Maimonides, Moses}}</ref>
