Maimonides
1135-1204, Jewish rabbi, physician, and philosopher, one of the greatest 
Hebrew scholars; b. Spain. He is sometimes called Rambam (from Rabbi Moses 
Ben Maimon). His great work Mishneh Torah, known in English as the Strong 
Hand, represents his effort to organize for the layman as well as for rabbis 
and judges the vast mass of Jewish oral law, or MISHNA. His contribution to 
Western philosophy, however, rests on his influential Guide to the Perplexed, 
in which he attempted to reconcile Aristotle's theories with those of Jewish 
theology and thereby helped to introduce Aristotle to the Christian 
philosophers of the Middle Ages (see SCHOLASTICISM).
