message: I notice that the Guide was originally written in Arabic then second to Hebrew by "Samuel ben Judah ibn Tibbon". Under "External links" on the wiki page for the Guide it lists the available original Arabic text for the Guide available. When it says "Munk and Joel edition" that is just referring to the fact they edited and revised it right? It is the raw original Arabic text just cleaned up? It says under "Translations" that Moreh Nevukhim was the name for the Hebrew translation by Samuel ben Judah ibn Tibbon. Then on the page that leads to Munk and Joel's edition it says it is the Moreh Nevukhim in Arabic. So it isn't the original?! So it is not the "Original Judeo-Arabic full text" as it says under "External links" then?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.57.2.205 (talk) 06:05, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The oldest existent translation available is still Arabic? 

message: The phrase "positive characteristics" used in the article wikilinks to an article about an algebraic term. 'Maimonides was strongly against what he believed to be a heresy present in unlearned Jews who then assume God to be corporeal (or even possessing positive characteristics). I don't think he was saying that unlearned Jews view God in ring theoretic terms. Perhaps someone should change the wikilink to a better target.

thread_title:  Strange wikilink 

message: The current article says:
"The Guide for the Perplexed was originally written about 1190 by Maimonides in Judeo-Arabic. It was first translated in 1204 into Hebrew by a contemporary of Maimonides, Samuel ben Judah ibn Tibbon..."
The article on Rambam: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimonides) says:
"... the Guide for the Perplexed (which was initially written in Arabic as Dalālat al-ḥāʾirīn) ..."
Nu, German and Judeo-German (Yiddish) are close, but certainly not the same!  Which is correct?

message: In the opening paragraph of the article we read:
    It seeks to reconcile Aristotelianism with Rabbinical Jewish theology by
    finding rational explanations for many events in the text.
This is unclear. Which text is meant? Toddcs (talk) 04:40, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
