Moses Maimonides (1138-1204), physician, scientist, astronomer,
philosopher, and theologian, emerged as a halakhist through his
classic work, Commentary on the Mishnah, in which he sets out to
explain to the layman the meaning and the purpose of the Mishnah,
while bypassing the often complicated and concentrated discussions
of the Gemara. It was Maimonides' wish to popularize the Mishnah
and to make it easily accessible to the general reader. He did so
by extracting the underlying principles involved in lengthy, often
abstract, talmudic discussions and stating the halakhic decisions
derived therein, interspersing them with ethical insights and
philosophical teachings.
