Medieval Jewish Texts

Medieval Jewish texts encompass a diverse body of work produced between the 9th and 15th centuries, reflecting religious, philosophical, legal, and mystical thought. These writings include rabbinic commentaries, legal codes like the Mishneh Torah, philosophical works such as those by Maimonides, and mystical texts like the Zohar. They were written in Hebrew and Aramaic and often aimed to interpret Jewish law, explore theology, or seek spiritual understanding. These texts played a crucial role in shaping Jewish life and thought during the Middle Ages and continue to influence Jewish study and tradition today.
