| An example of Maimonides correcting his own text of Pirush haMishna |
Introduction
This article − based extensively on research by Professor Marc Herman[1] – shows how Maimonides (1138-1204) was not averse to changing his positions on various matters as he progressed through his life. We know this was the case regarding the development of his philosophical writings, but as we shall see, he followed the same pattern with his Halachic work, as well. We briefly examine three of Maimonides’ rabbinic and Halachic writings and do not engage with his philosophical writings here.[2]
