According to the publisher's blurb, "Abraham ben Hananiah Yagel 1553 - c. 1624) composed his Hebrew work Gei Hizzayon (A Valley of Vision) in Italy at the end of the sixteenth century. This striking text, so different from the other writings of the prolific physician, natural philosopher, and kabbalist, is first an autobiographical account of the vicissitudes of the author's years as a Jewish loan -banker. It is also a description of a heavenly journey he is taken on by the soul of his recently deceased father, who visits his son while he is imprisoned in Mantua for debt. Finally, it is a series of theological and moral discussions based on the insights of Judaism, particularly the kabbalah as understood by Yagel and his Italian contemporaries.A Valley of Vision is unique in Hebrew literature in its integration of traditional Jewish materials with contemporary literary and iconographic innovations. It is also a fascinating window into the social and cultural world of Italian Jewry at the end of the sixteenth century and its effect on the entire late Renaissance period.David B. Ruderman's is the first translation of this important work into any Western language. The book will be of great interest to both the specialist and the general reader of Jewish and late Renaissance history, thought, and literature." xii [2], 2-365 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.

This edition was prepared and edited by Yehoshua ben David Yelin (1843-1924) a prominent member of the Palestine's Jewish community during the late Ottoman period, and was the first edition of the work published in Palestine, following the first edition (Vilna, 1812).

Brown library buckram (scuffed at extremities), spines lettered in gilt. Endleaves renewed. A good set. (See foliation and condition notes for each volume below.) Scarce eighteenth-century edition of this seminal compendium of Jewish law (halakhah). Compiled between 1170 and 1180, while Maimonides was living in Egypt, the Mishneh Torah is regarded as the author's magnum opus. It is the only Medieval-era work that surveys the full panoply of Jewish observance, including those laws that are only applicable when the Jerusalem Temple is in existence. The present edition is the first to contain Judah Rosanes' commentary, Mishneh le-melekh. "Mishneh Torah" (The Repetition of the Law) is an appellation originally applied to the biblical book of Deuteronomy; the subtitle, "ha-Yad ha-Hazakah" (The [Book] of the Strong Hand) plays on its subdivision into fourteen books: the numerical value fourteen is represented in Hebrew letters as Yud (10) Dalet (4), which forms the word "yad" (hand). Maimonides sought to provide a complete statement of the Oral Law, so that a person who mastered first the Written Torah and then the Mishneh Torah would be in no need of any other book. Contemporary reaction was mixed, with strong and immediate opposition focusing on the absence of sources and the belief that the work appeared to be intended to supersede study of the Talmud itself. Maimonides responded to these criticisms, and the Mishneh Torah endures as an influential work in Jewish religious thought. According to several authorities, a decision may not be rendered in opposition to a view of Maimonides, even where he apparently militated against the sense of a Talmudic passage, for in such cases the presumption was that the words of the Talmud were incorrectly interpreted. Likewise: One must follow Maimonides even when the latter opposed his teachers, since he surely knew their views, and if he decided against them he must have disapproved their interpretation.

Rabbi Moses Maimonides (the Rambam) was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure, both during his lifetime and after his death, he is generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba, Spain but fled as a child from the Almohad persecution. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi, physician and philosopher. 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 works include "Kitab al-Siraj," a commentary on the Mishnah, "Kitab al-Fara'I," a book on precepts, and the celebrated philosophical work "Dalalat al-Ha'irin," known in Hebrew as the "Moreh Nevukhim," (The Guide to the Perplexed). In this latter work Maimonides attempted a 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.
