summary

Contains the Ethical Will of Maimonides written to his son Abraham. Much of the material in this volume concerns the controversy surrounding the Guide for the Perplexed. These letters by various authors postdate Maimonides thus the title is somewhat misleading.

ff. 95. Lightly stained, marginal repair to title and first leaf, slight mostly marginal worming on first few leaves, marginal note on f. 16a in an Italian hand. Modern calf. 12mo.
