For almost all of its history, however, the \u003ci\u003eGuide \u003c\/i\u003ehas been read and commented upon in translation--in Hebrew, Latin, Spanish, French, English, and other modern languages--rather than in its original Judeo-Arabic. This volume is the first to tell the story of the translations and translators of Maimonides'\u003ci\u003e Guide\u003c\/i\u003e and its impact in translation on philosophy from the Middle Ages to the present day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A collection of essays by scholars from a range of disciplines, the book unfolds in two parts. The first traces the history of the translations of the \u003ci\u003eGuide\u003c\/i\u003e, from medieval to modern renditions. The second surveys its influence in translation on Latin scholastic, early modern, and contemporary Anglo-American philosophy, as well as its impact in translation on current scholarship. Interdisciplinary in approach, this book will be essential reading for philosophers, historians, and religious studies scholars alike. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Josef Stern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022645763X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226457635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.40d","brand":"Josef Stern","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46136094359807,"sku":"9780226457635","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5a7e3a3-027c-475f-92d5-59ea2e21fe02.jpg?v=1726415666","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maimonides-guide-of-the-perplexed-josef-stern-9780226457635","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
