The treatise of the pool =

by Obadiah ben Abraham Maimonides

A remarkable, previously untranslated, Sufic text by the celebrated grandson of the illustrious philosopher Maimonides. Edited from the Bodleian MS, with a Preface by Professor Georges Vajda. The Translator's Introduction outlines the history of Sufi influences on Judaism. "Dr Fenton has put together clearly and informatively all that can presently be said about the life and work of this Jewish Sufi, whose activities until now had been entirely eclipsed by those of his better-known brother, David (grandson of Moses) Maimonides."
