summary

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.

ff. (4), 213, (15). Few margins worn, repaired worming, stained, title worn and laid down. Modern blind-tooled calf. Sm. 4to.
