Negative Positive
Title: Authoritative
Review: This small book represents a great deal of scholarship and effort. The translator describes a long life of working to develop the expertise necessary to do an authoritative job with this material. The reader is rewarded with a readable document that makes sense in modern terms.Maimonides was sought out as a physician as well as an expert on Jewish law and as an advisor to kings and princes. His writings about medicine are the subject of this work. I am a physician, and not a religious scholar. I enjoyed reading the book simply to see how much has NOT changed in medicine over 700+ years!I think other health care workers, regardless of religious preference, would find the book enjoyable.
