Kurzcharakterisierung:Diese elegante, illuminierte Kopie des Sefer Moreh Nevukhim (Führer der Unschlüssigen) von Moses Maimonides (1135-1204) wurde 1292 im christlichen Spanien hergestellt. Es handelt sich um eine Kopie der hebräischen Übersetzung, die 1204 von Samuel ben Judah Ibn Tibbon (1150-1230) angefertigt wurde. Die Handschrift gelangte entweder nach den Judenverfolgungen 1391 oder nach ihrer Vertreibung von der iberischen Halbinsel 1492 nach Spanien. Sie gehörte der berühmten Familie Sforno aus Bologna, ehe sie im 17. Jahrhundert im Besitz des italienischen jüdischen Apostaten und Inquisitors Renato da Modena wieder erschien. Nach mehr als einem Jahrhundert befand sie sich in den Händen des protestantischen Theologen Johann Caspar Ulrich (1705-1768), der sie 1762 an die Bibliotheca Ecclesia Carolina, die Stiftsbibliothek der reformierten Kirche des Grossmünsters Zürich verschenkte. Im Jahre 1835, als das Stift aufgehoben wurde, bildeten die Bücher und Handschriften seiner Bibliothek zusammen mit anderen Beständen die neue Zentralbibliothek, wo die Handschrift noch heute aufbewahrt wird.(iss)

Inhaltsangabe:
Maimonides, Rabbi Moses ben Maimon (acronym Rambam) was the foremost figure in Judaism from the Middle Ages onwards. No other spiritual leader exercised such an influence in his own and subsequent generations. A Rabbi, philosopher, astronomer and physician, Maimonides was born in 1135 Cordova, Muslim Spain, under the Almoravid rule. In 1148, he had to flee, as a result of the Almohad invasion and Jewish persecutions. After many years of tribulations, he and his family settled in Fez in 1160 and several years later, in Fustat in Egypt, where he was appointed head of the Jewish community in 1177 and as one of the physicians to the Vizier of Egypt in 1185. It was during these busy years that Maimonides not only wrote his two monumental works, Mishneh Torah (compiled 1178) and the Guide to the Perplexed (completed 1190 or 1200), upon which his fame mainly rests, but also corresponded with many other Jewish communities, leaving us written traces of his responsa and opinions on various subjects, such as with the famous Iggeret Teiman (1172), an epistle to the communities of Yemen, urging them not to accept forced conversions. He is also the author of a Treatise on the Art of Logic (1160s) and eleven medical works influenced by Galen and Avicenna, whose majority have been translated into Hebrew and Latin (Zonta, pp. 35-61).
The Guide to the Perplexed was written in Judeo-Arabic under the title Dalalat al-Ha’irin circa 1190 or 1200 and was translated twice into Hebrew shortly after, as Moreh Nevukhim (Zonta, p. 28). The first and literal translation was made by Samuel ben Judah Ibn Tibbon (1150-1230) in 1204 (Ed. Prin. Italy, 1473-74) and a second, freer translation was made by the poet Judah al-Ḥarizi between 1205 and 1213 (Schlossberg). Our manuscript described here, Ms. Car C 126, is a copy of the translation by Samuel ben Judah Ibn Tibbon, as stated in the first words of the introduction of Ms. Car C 126, on folio 3r: Samuel ben Judah ben Tibbon may his memory be blessed said…(אמר שמואל בן יהודה בן תבון זל'). Although there are numerous extant manuscripts of the Hebrew translations of this work, either by Ibn Tibbon or al-Ḥarizi, housed in various public and private libraries around the world, there are only a handful of manuscripts of the work in Judeo-Arabic; the earliest extant complete copy, having been copied in Yemen in 1380. It is now part of the Hebrew manuscript collection in the British Library (Tahan, p. 11), under the shelfmark MS Or. 2423 (On the extant manuscripts, editions and textual transmission of the Moreh Nevukhim, see Friedländer, pp.16-26).
Whilst the Mishneh Torah is a halakhic work, systematizing the material in the Talmud and intended as an aid for anyone wanting to live a life according to traditional Jewish praxis, the Guide to the Perplexed is considered the leading work of Jewish medieval philosophy. It attempts to reconciliate traditional Jewish theology and Aristotelian rationalism, which was very influential in Maimonides’ time. Furthermore, the Guide was addressed to a select and erudite readership, able to understand ideas deliberately concealed from the masses. The guide is divided into three books and mainly focuses on the philosophic interpretation of Scripture (Robinson, pp. 460-462 and notes), discussing a number of subjects relative to: divine attributes, anthropomorphism, existence and unity of God, Creation, structure of the universe, prophecy, the nature of evil, divine Providence, the nature of Man, moral virtue and the 613 laws (mitsvot) contained in the five Books of Moses (Encyclopedia Judaica, pp. 771-775). In addition to profoundly influencing the course of medieval Jewish philosophy, the Guide had a strong impact on Christian scholastic thought. Among the scholastics are Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas, Meister Eckhart and Duns Scottus, who either quote Maimonides by name or cite him anonymously in their works. Later on, 16th century Christian Hebraists, such as Agostinus Justinianus, published the first Latin translation of the Guide, based on al-Harizi’s Hebrew translation, under the title Rabbi Mossei Aegyptii Dux seu Director Dubitantium aut perplexorum (Paris: 1520), followed by a second translation by Johann Buxtorf ‘The Younger’ (1599-1664) who based himself on Ibn Tibbon’s version of the Guide and entitled it Doctor Perplexorum (Basel:1629). An anonymous Latin note on the pastedown at the beginning of Ms. Car C 126 mentions this latter translation (see transcription of this note under ‘owners notes in the manuscript’).
Almost immediately after their completion toward the end of the 12th century, the Mishneh Torah and Moreh Nevukhim, with their subsequent Hebrew translations, were not received without contention by most medieval rabbinical authorities. Indeed, especially between the 13th and early 14th centuries, the debate known as “the Maimonidean Controversy” raged in several phases among Jewish scholars of Franco-Germany, Provence and Spain (see Dobbs-Weinstein, Grossman, Nahon, Silver). In 1232, a ban was placed upon both these works as well as the study of philosophy (Woolf, p. 432) by Provençal rabbis [involving among others, David Kimḥi (Radak, 1160-1235) and Solomon b. Abraham of Montpellier (Shlomo Min ha-Har, 1st half 13th c.)]. Furthermore in 1305, as the cultural war between the proponents and the opponents of philosophy had been going on in Jewish Europe for over a hundred years, Rabbi Solomon Ben Adret (Rashba, 1235-1310), an important rabbinical authority in Spain, was persuaded to also prohibit the studying of philosophy and science, but only to those under the age of twenty-five. Although his ban was only destined to his own community of Barcelona, Adret’s enormous influence led many others to accept it. Consequently, one can observe that the main focus of the controversy changed during the successive phases, going from the rejection of Maimonides’ views and the content of both his works to the general ban on the study of philosophy and science themselves; ending with a shift to the age under which it was forbidden to study these subjects.
Finally, with the expulsion of the Jews from the Kingdom of France in 1306, the heat of the controversy abated, however, leaving the question about the possibility or impossibility to combine Jewish tradition and science/philosophy unresolved. Punctual contentious flares were reignited in the 16th and 18th centuries, but opposing Maimonides generally became more and more questionable in the following centuries, until today, when Maimonides is universally considered one of the greatest rabbinical authorities in Jewish tradition.
Last but not least, the Zurich Moreh Nevukhim Ms. Car C 126 includes some laudatory prefatory verses on Maimonides on the recto of flyleaf I at the beginning of the volume. This literary form, interspersing prose and verse, flourished in Sepharad during the 13th and 14th centuries and found its place at the beginning of other works by Maimonides and other medieval authors, such as Judah al Ḥarizi’s Takhemoni (1218-20) or Jacob ben Eleazar’s Sefer ha-Meshalim (1233) (Kozodoy, p. 258). Regarding the prefatory verses only preceding the Guide, they could be laudatory or cursory toward Maimonides and more than 30 manuscripts spanning from the 13th to 15th centuries include them. (Kozodoy, p. 258, note, 5, see mention of Zurich, Zentralbibliothek, Ms. Car C 126, which has been erroneously noted as Ms. ‘Cov. C 126’). Although the verses were probably composed earlier, they were nonetheless copied in Ms. Car C 126, with a square and bookhand Italian script of the 15th century.
Work divided into 3 sections, preceded by an introduction (פתיחה) ff. 1v-7v
Colophon: A colophon is found on folio 167v. The two scratched out lines probably contained the name of the patron who commissioned the manuscript. The manuscript is dated Marḥeshvan 5052 since the creation of the world, equivalent to November 1292 C.E.

Entstehung der Handschrift: This manuscript was copied in Christian Spain in 1292 (possibly in Catalonia), because of the layout of the text and decoration of the word panels, which are reminiscent of Latin manuscript production.

While still in Spain, the manuscript was owned by a Jew perhaps of the end of the 13th-early 14th century, named Barukh Blanes (f. 1r), the latter being a toponym of a town in the province of Girona, Catalonia. Despite this information, it is possible that the Blanes family did not live in the town of Blanes proper, but somewhere in the vicinity. However, here below are some possible relatives, extracted from notary references and Hebrew manuscripts from Girona, all dated between the middle and end of the 14th century and who could perhaps be Barukh Blanes’ descendants: Iossef de Blanes / Iossef Blanes, Astruc de n’Itsaq de Blanes, Bonastruc de Blanes, Alietzer Suslam de Blanes, Jucef Belshom de Blanes, Isaac Jucef de Blanes, Belshom de Blanes, Isaac de Blanes. [Many thanks to Dr. Esperança Valls-Pujols of the Institut Privat d’Estudis Món Juïc in Barcelona for this information.]
The manuscript must have then arrived in Italy either in the aftermath of the anti-Jewish Spanish massacres of 1391 or after the ensuing 1492 expulsion of Spain.
During the 16th century, the manuscript was probably rebound in Italy, as an owner signed his name on the recto of the first flyleaf of the volume, which had been glued onto a stub of the original flyleaf after the volume had been rebound (see also the prefatory verses on flyleaf I recto in an Italian 15th c. script). The owner’s name in question is Iseppe Sforno, a member of the prominent Bolognese Jewish Sforno family. The Sforno surname is of Spanish origin and one is tempted to suggest that the manuscript may have been in the possession of this family since their arrival in Italy from Spain, sometime between the end of the 14th or end of the 15th century and thus would have been responsible for rebinding the manuscript.
Furthermore, in the early 17th century, the manuscript was in the hands of the well-known Italian Jewish apostate and inquisitor Renato da Modena (Popper, §132-133), who verified the manuscript and signed his name accompanied by the date of 1626 on its last page (f. 167v: Visto per me frater Renato da Modena a. 1626).
After more than a century, the manuscript reappeared in the possession of Johann Caspar Ulrich (1705-1768) (see DHS in bibliography), a Protestant theologian, Christian Hebraist and minister in Zurich, as is witnessed by a note dated 1762 on the pastedown at the beginning of the volume, which attests to the donation of this manuscript by the latter to the Bibliotheca Ecclesia Carolina, the chapter library of the reformed Grossmünster church of Zurich, named after its legendary founder, Charlemagne. [The shelfmark ‘Ms. Car.’ refers to this institution and a catalogue of 1776 by Johann Jakob Breitinger (1701-1776, see DHS) mentions Ms. Car. C 126].
Erwerb der Handschrift: In 1835, when the chapter was dissolved, the books and manuscripts of the chapter library became part of the new Cantonal Library in Zurich. Finally, in 1917, the holdings of the Cantonal Library and those of the City Library were united to form the new Zentralbibliothek. [Many thanks to Mr Rainer Walter, Curator of the Manuscript Department at the Zentralbibliothek, Zurich, for the information on the provenance of this manuscript between the 18th and 20th centuries.]
