Graber, Przemys’l, 1882), and from expressing his conviction that the
saying “From Moses to Moses none rose like Moses,” was as untrue as
that suggested by Rappoport, “From Abraham to Abraham (Ibn-Ezra) none
rose like Abraham.” Rabbi Hirsch Chayyuth in Darke-Mosheh (Zolkiew,
1840) examines the attacks made upon the writings of Maimonides, and
tries to refute them, and to show that they can be reconciled with the
teaching of the Talmud.
The Bodl. MS. 2240, 3a, contains a document signed by Josselman and
other Rabbis, declaring that they accept the teaching of Maimonides as
correct, with the exception of his theory about angels and sacrifices.
Numerous poems were written, both in admiration and in condemnation of
the Moreh. Most of them precede or follow the Moreh in the printed
editions and in the various MS. copies of the work. A few have been
edited in Dibre-ḥakamim, pp. 75 and 86; in the Literaturblatt d. Or. I.
379, II. 26–27, IV. 748, and Leket-shoshannim by Dr. Grätz. In the
Sammelband of the Mekize Nirdamim (1885) a collection of 69 of these
poems is contained, edited and explained by Prof. Dr. A. Berliner. In
imitation of the Moreh and with a view of displacing Maimonides’ work,
the Karaite Ahron II. b. Eliah wrote a philosophical treatise,
Eẓ-ḥayyim (Ed. F. Delitzsch. Leipzig, 1841).
