The Guide to the Perplexed in French, and Maimonides' Hebraizing Arabic (in Hebrew script). Central to the Jewish tradition in theology and philosophy, Maimonides' masterwork presents the negative way in theology, denying that any positive assertion can be sufficient to be true of God. It begins by explaining the apparent anthropomorphism of the Pentateuch, mostly as examples of double meaning; it explains the nature and history of the Universe, in the joint view of Scripture and (Aristotelian) philosophy; next the mystical significance of Ezekiel's vision of the chariot, and the practical justification of the 613 mitzvoth, commandments With extensive critical notes by the translator.
