Moses Maimonides: The Man and His Works by Herbert A. Davidson (Oxford University Press) offers a thorough survey of the life and writings of this most influential Jewish thinker. The work gives a refreshing account of his life and influence with a close survey of all existent writings. In the process some surprising facts about his life and times come to the fore as well as some common myths are dispelled. Important for beginners and scholars alike.

Moses Maimonides: The Man and His Works,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Moses Maimonides: The Man and His Works (Paperback)
The best single volume on Maimonides' life and thought that I have ever read. I liked Joel Kraemer's book too, which is heavier on his life and the background medieval world of which Maimonides was a part, but this book is better if you are intersted in Maimonides' thought and works. Also good for issues related to Maimonides' thought is Marvin Fox's book on Maimonides and his interpretters. Marc Shapiro's paperback on Maimonides isn't bad either, but some of the essays are so detailed they are a bit tedious to read.
