A series of homilies on various Aggadic passages from the Talmud, interwoven with a philosophical discussion meant to serve as a defense of Maimonides’ reconciliation of Greek philosophy and Jewish thought. The author clearly had a thorough command of the fields of knowledge of his time, as this work is rich in quotations from Greek and Arabic philosophical literature.
