A complete set of the three parts of Maimonides acclaimed work The Guide for the Perplexed in German and Hebrew bound in one volume. All of the editions included here contain the first German translations of their respective parts of the text. Maimonides' intention with this work was to reconcile Aristotelian thought and logic with traditional Rabbinical Jewish theology. Originally written circa 1190 in Judeo-Arabic as Dalalat al-Ha'irin these writings takes the form of a lengthy three-part letter to his student Rabbi Joseph ben Judah of Ceuta and are seen as the main source for understanding Maimonides' philosophic view rather than his strictly being his views on Jewish law. It is the most known of his works in the non-Jewish world. The work's first translation into Hebrew was in 1204 by Rabbi Samuel ben Judah ibn Tibbon c.1150 - c.1230 a contemporary of Maimonides.

In 1835 the first part of Maimonides acclaimed work was first translated into German with added commentary in Hebrew by Jacob Raphael Fürstenthal 1781-1855. That first edition featured the German translation printed in Latin script to accompany the Hebrew text. However for this second edition of that translation it is interesting to note that the text of the German is printed in Hebrew script. Content finely printed in double and single-column layouts with commentary printed in Rashi script.
