Rambam<br />

Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon or <strong>the</strong> acronym <strong>the</strong> Rambam was born in Cordoba,<br />

Spain on March 30, 1135, <strong>and</strong> died in Egypt on December 13, 1204. He was <strong>the</strong><br />

greatest Jewish philosopher <strong>and</strong> codifier <strong>of</strong> Jewish law in history..<br />

"From Moshe (Rabbeinu, in <strong>the</strong> Bible) till Moshe (ben Maimon), <strong>the</strong>re arose none<br />

like Moshe."<br />

The fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah (Review <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Torah)today retains canonical<br />

authority as a codification <strong>of</strong> Talmudic law<br />
