Some rubbing to covers text very clean and sharp binding tight. The magnum opus of the preeminent scholar in post-Talmudic Judaism. The survival of Maimonides autograph original in the Cairo Geniza is one of the great wonders of intellectual and religious history. "No praise can be too high for the outer form of his works both in language and logical method. The Mishneh Torah was the only work which he wrote in Hebrew and the language is superb clear and succinct. . The Mishneh Torah is a model of logical sequence and studied method each chapter and each paragraph coming in natural sequence to its preceeding one." In 14 subdivisions Maimonides classifies "by subject matter the entire talmudic and post-talmudic halakhic literature in a systematic manner never before attempted in the history of Judaism." While ostensibly a strictly halakhic compendium the work allows for natural excurses on the many facets of Maimonides's broad learning including Medicine Philosophy Civil Law and refutations of Islamic and Christian theology. The very splendor of this work was itself the main concern of its critics who worried that "the architectural beauty of its structure its logical arrangement and ready-reference nature . would turn students away from the study of the Talmud and commentaries."
