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 had a thorough command of the fields of knowledge of his time, for this work is rich in quotations from Greek and Arabic philosophical literature. See EJ, XIV cols. 1270-1
