Maimonides (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon) was a rabbi, physician, and philosopher who was born in Cordova, Spain in 1135, and died in Egypt 1204. He wrote Guide For the Perplexed in the 12th century, in Judeo-Arabic. That text was subsequently translated into Hebrew by Samuel ibn Tibbon, whose text Buxtorf used for his Latin translation. Maimonides' ideas influenced both the Jewish and non-Jewish worlds.
