Maimonideanism, the intellectual culture inspired by Maimonides'
writings, has received much recent attention. Yet a central aspect
of Maimonideanism has been overlooked: the formal reception of the
Guide of the Perplexed through commentary. In Rewriting Maimonides,
Igor H. De Souza offers a comprehensive analysis of six early
philosophical commentaries, written in Italy, Spain, and France, by
some of Maimonides' most loyal followers. The early commentaries
represent the most creative period of exegesis of the Guide. De
Souza's analysis dispels the notion that the tradition of
commentary on the Guide is monolithic. Rather, De Souza's study
illuminates how each commentator offers distinctive readings.
Challenging the hierarchy of text and commentary, Rewriting
Maimonides studies commentaries on the Guide as texts in their own
right. De Souza approaches the form of commentary as a multifaceted
cultural practice. Employing historical, philosophical, and
literary methods, this publication fills a lacuna in the history of
the Guide through a global perspective on commentary.
