Maimonides after 800 Years

"The essays in this volume were written to mark the 800th anniversary of Maimonides' death in 1204. Written by the leading scholars in the field, they cover all aspects of Maimonides' work and influence from his work on Jewish law to his unique understanding or God; from his view of the soul to his understanding of other religions: from his influence on Jewish scholars in the eastern Mediterranean to his impact on the emergence of modern Judaism - the essays in this volume cover all this and more."--book jacket.
