As with Moses Mendelssohn's Biur project, this work exemplifies the moderate strain within the late 18th century German Haskalah, which attempted to reform traditional Judaism using the medieval Jewish philosophical tradition exemplified by Maimonides.

Mose Majemonide Arabico idiomate conscriptus, a R. Samuele Abben Thibbone in Linguam Hebraeam translatus, novis commentaris uno R. Mosis Narbonnensis, ex antiquissimis manuscriptis depromto; altero anonymi cujusdam, sub nomine Gibeath Hamore adauctus, nunc in lucem editus cura et impensis Isaaci Eucheli. Solisbaci, in officina arnsteinii et filiorum. MDCCC." R. Moses Maimonides (Rambam) was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure, both during his lifetime and after his death, but 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 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.
