Maimonides, Moses
Maimonides, Moses (1135–1204) Jewish philosopher, Hebrew scholar, and physician, b. Spain. As a youth he was attracted to Aristotelian philosophy, which influenced his well-known
Guide of the Perplexed, a plea for a more rational philosophy of
Judaism. He emigrated to Egypt in 1159, after a tyrannical Muslim sect took over his native Córdoba. In Cairo, he became court physician to
Saladin and was the recognized leader of Egyptian Jewry. His
Mishneh Torah is a systematic compilation of Jewish oral law. Other works on Jewish law and philosophy and on medicine confirmed him as one of the most influential thinkers of the Middle Ages.
