His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah his only work not in Arabic still carries canonical authority particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community as the codification of Talmudic law. His other work includes a commentary on the Mishnah entitled Kitab al-Siraj Kitab al-Fara'I a book on precepts and the philosophical work Dalalat al-Ha'irin known in Hebrew as the Moreh Nevukhim The Guide to the Perplexed. The major premise is an attempted philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages.

He received his early instruction in Hebrew from Jacob Steinschneider 1782 - 1856 his father who was not well versed in both Talmud and secular science.

He was the first scholar to give a systematic survey of Jewish literature till the end of the eighteenth century and to publish catalogues of the Hebrew manuscripts and books which are found in the public libraries of Europe. The Bodleian catalogue was the foundation of his reputation as the greatest Jewish bibliographer.

1952ref. 26607New York: Exposition Press. Fine. c.1952. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket a nice clean copy with no discernible wear. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "To / Doctor Charles: -- / The best of luck always / and thanks for your / buoyancy and happiness. / It's such a tonic. / Simply and Happy / Reading! / Affectionately / Eva E. Moses / Pleuty." Vanity press novel set in the early 20th century about the life of a family that migrates from Minnesota to Saskatchewan. Although there's generally a kind of broad assumption that most vanity press novels are thinly-disguised autobiography in this case one contemporary reviewer of the book noted that "one has the feeling while reading this story that Eva Moses is writing not so much from actual experience as from hearsay." An uncommon book this copy unfortunately lacking the dust jacket. Signed by Author . Exposition Press hardcover books
