Maimonides, Moses

Maimonides, Moses, a Jewish rabbi, born at Cordova, whom the Jews regarded as their Plato, and called the “Lamp of Israel” and the “Eagle of the doctors”; was a man of immense learning, and was physician to the Sultan of Egypt; in his relation to the Jews he ranks next to Moses, and taught them to interpret their religion in the light of reason; he wrote a “Commentary on the Mishna and the Second Law,” but his chief work is the “Moreh Nebochim,” or “Guide to the Perplexed” (1135-1204).
