Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 10
In this biography of Maimonides, the medieval philosopher, physician, and religious thinker, Alberto Manguel examines the question of his universal appeal. Moses ben Maimon, or Maimonides (1138–1204), was born in Córdoba, Spain. The gifted son of a judge and mathematician, Maimonides fled Córdoba with his family when he was thirteen due to Almohad persecution of all non-Islamic faiths. Forced into a long exile, the family spent a decade in Spain before settling in Morocco. From there, Maimonides traveled to Palestine and Egypt, where he died at Saladin’s court.

A Valuable Overview
Revisado: 04-30-24
Manguel is not an expert on Maimonides — he admits as much at the beginning odds the book — but he is profoundly leaned and curious; that comes through. The performance, though, is often in a monotone and marred by many audible edits.
