Abrabanel’s important philosophical exposition on Part 2, Chapter 19 of the Rambam’s Moreh Nevuchim, focusing on the notion of Creatio Ex Nihilo. As such, the universe presents no pre-existent matter to limit the power of God. The Abrabanel also discusses here the purpose of Creation and the experience of the Divine Presence.
