Description: Description Printed in 1987, this has 218 pages. Fascinating commentary by Maimonides to The Aphorisms. His commentary written in Arabic and early translated into Hebrew by Moses Ibn Tibbon and other scholars takes its place in Hippocratic scholarship. No translation into English hitherto exists, but a German version of the Preface alone by Moritz Steinschneider' published in 1894. He so much esteemed this preface that he undertook the task. Since on several occasions Maimonides comments on the voluminous Galenic commentary which was known to him through the Arabic translation of the ninth century , an English translation of his Commentary would be of value also for Galenic scholarship. Author was the famed 12th century Jewish Medical Doctor, Rabbi Moses Bar Maimon of Cordoba, Spain, Fez, Morocco and Fostat (Cairo), Egypt administering to the Sultan. He quotes from Ibn Zuhr, Abu Marwan Ibn Zuhr, Hippocrates, Galen, Aristotle, Rhazes of Persia, Al Farabi, and others. Originally written in Arabic, it is here translated by Fred Rosner M.D. F.A.C.P.
