The ten authentic medical treatises of Moses Maimonides lay dormant in manuscript form for many centuries. In the mid-1900s, Hebrew editions of these works were published under the editorship of the late Suessman Muntner of Jerusalem. The pub. of several of these works in English followed, incl. Maimonides’ treatises on Asthma (19643), Regimen of Health (1964), Poisons (1966), Hemorrhoids (1969), Responsa (1969), Aphorisms (1970-71), and Sexual Intercourse (1974). This important work represents one of the remaining three Maimonidean treatises that were not yet available to the English reader in 1979, when this volume was published. It has been translated from Max Meyerhof’s French Edition. This is a print on demand publication.
