A work essential to an understanding of the historical developments and underlying philosophic issues of the Second Maimonidean Controversy, in which several Provencal rabbis (including our own author) importuned R. Solomon ben Abraham ibn Adret (Rashb’a) to forbid the study of Maimonides' philosophic work to persons under the age of twenty-five.
