Maimonides was a Jewish rabbi, born at Cordoba, who is regarded by the Jews as a great philosopher, and called the âLamp of Israelâ and the âEagle of the doctorsâ; 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 âCommentary on the Mishna and the Second Law,â but his chief work is the âMoreh Nebochim,â or âGuide to the Perplexedâ (1135-1204).[1]
