Moses Maimonides's Guide of the Perplexed is the greatest
philosophical text in the history of Jewish thought and a major
work of the Middle Ages. For almost all of its history, however,
the Guide has been read and commented upon in translation--in
Hebrew, Latin, Spanish, French, English, and other modern
languages--rather than in its original Judeo-Arabic. This volume is
the first to tell the story of the translations and translators of
Maimonides' Guide and its impact in translation on philosophy from
the Middle Ages to the present day. A collection of essays by
scholars from a range of disciplines, the book unfolds in two
parts. The first traces the history of the translations of the
Guide, from medieval to modern renditions. The second surveys its
influence in translation on Latin scholastic, early modern, and
contemporary Anglo-American philosophy, as well as its impact in
translation on current scholarship. Interdisciplinary in approach,
this book will be essential reading for philosophers, historians,
and religious studies scholars alike.
