MOSES MAIMONIDES is the subject of a museum exhibit in Frankfurt, according to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. This year is the eight hundredth anniversary of his death.
The exhibition �Moses Maimonides: doctor, philosopher and leader of the Jews 1135-1204� at the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt is a small but impressive show that provides insight into how much two great religions and cultures, which seem to have forgotten their common roots, actually have in common. The show also offers a real sensation: two sheets with original Maimonides manuscripts, autographs from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. It also displays fine astronomical instruments from the Orient, a comprehensive overview of the scholar's life and some extraordinary volumes of Talmud commentaries and other wisdom.
