Although Maimonides did not write a running commentary on any book of the Bible, biblical exegesis occupies a central place in his writings, especially in the "Guide of the Perplexed". "Maimonides as Biblical Interpreter" offers a collection of essays on several key biblical interpretations by Maimonides dealing with the creation of the world, the story of the Garden of Eden, Jacob's dream of the ladder, King Solomon as an esoterist philosopher, and the problem of exoteric and esoteric biblical interpretations in the Guide. Special attention is paid to Maimonides' methods of interpretation and to his esoteric way of writing. Some of the articles in this volume were originally published in Hebrew, and appear here for the first time in an English translation.
Sara Klein-Braslavy (Ph.D. Université de Paris IV) is a professor of Jewish philosophy at Tel-Aviv University. She is the author of three Hebrew books on Maimonides: Maimonides' Interpretation of the Story of Creation; Maimonides' Interpretation of the Adam Stories in Genesis - A Study in Maimonides' Anthropology; and King Solomon and Philosophical Esotericism in the Thought of Maimonides. She has also written numerous articles on Jewish medieval philosophy.
