"The two volumes of commentary now extant confirm Maimonides
reputation as an astute clinician, scholar, and critic. Even in
today's world of clinical science, many of his aphorisms are
uncannily accurate and prescient. . . . There is much of value in
these commentaries . . . for what they reveal of one of the
greatest clinicians of antiquity, of what constituted clinical
wisdom in his time and how much can be learned by close observation
and creative reflection on matters medical."--Edmund Pellegrino
"Review of Metaphysics"
A user-friendly product which . . . makes the results of this field
of study accessible to the wider academic community of
medievalists. . . . A very important document of medieval
intellectual history and a critical edition of the original Arabic
has been a desideratum for a long time. Garrit Bos' edition and
Englilsh translation of Treatises 6-9 meets the highest standards
of scholarship."--Tamas Visi "Medieval Review"
