Maimonides and the Hermeneutics of Concealment demonstrates the type of hermeneutic that the medieval Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides (1138 1204) engaged in throughout his treatise, The Guide of the Perplexed. By comprehensively analyzing Maimonides use of rabbinic and scriptural sources, James Arthur Diamond argues that, far from being merely prooftexts, they are in fact essential components of Maimonides esoteric stratagem. Diamond s close reading of biblical and rabbinic citations in the Guide not only penetrates its multilayered structure to arrive at its core meaning, but also distinguishes Maimonides as a singular contributor to the Jewish exegetical tradition.

226 ÆäÀÌÁö - For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD...
228 ÆäÀÌÁö - If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, The Lord thy God...
226 ÆäÀÌÁö - And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
234 ÆäÀÌÁö - The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light : they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
