The Code of Maimonides (Mishneh Torah) The Book Of Seasons

TORN DUST JACKET>>>>The Code of Maimonides (Mishneh Torah) Book 3, The Book of Seasons Translated by Solomon Gandz and Hyman Klein This is the third book in the project of publishing the entire corpus of the great twelfth-century Jewish doctor, philosopher, and legalist, Maimonides, who codified the entire body of Jewish religious custom and law. From this Code, previously unavailable in English, modern scholars have derived the basis of their knowledge of medieval Jewish religious life. Previously one treatise of The Book of Seasons"The Sanctification of the New Moon"was published as Volume XI in the Yale Judaica Series. The present volume, omitting Sanctification, covers Maimonides' amazingly detailed and learned codification of the laws and customs of the Jews relating to all other festivals and fast days
