Ancient/Medieval Modern
Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)
The
Tanakh is the Hebrew Bible, the quintessential sacred text. The first
five books of this comprise the Torah (or Pentateuch), the core sacred
writings of the ancient Jews, traditionally written by Moses under
divine inspiration.

Sayings of
the Jewish
Fathers (Pirqe Aboth) Translated by
Charles Taylor [1897]
This is a beautiful extract from the Talmud,

touches, the Pirqe Aboth is distinguished for its transparency and
simplicity. This was one of the first English translations in modern
times of any portion of the Talmud.

The Works of Flavius Josephus Translated by
William Whiston [1737]
Josephus was a Jewish historian, soldier and
scholar who lived in the first century [37-100 C.E.]. His works are
primary historical sources of information about the doomed Jewish
revolt of 66-9 C.E.
The Guide for the
Perplexed by Moses Maimonides, M. Freidländer, tr. (2nd
Ed.) [1904]. 1,566,919 bytes
There is a saying that the history of Jewish
doctrine goes runs from 'Moses to Moses'; the second of which is Moses
Maimonides. Maimonides (1120-1190) was a brilliant Hispanic Jewish
scholar who lived in Spain and Egypt in the 12th
century. His Mishneh Toreh, a codification of
Jewish law, is considered on a par with the Talmud. This work attempts
to reconcile Biblical and Talmundic beliefs with Aristotelian
philosophy. This file needs some additional proofing and production
work, which will occur in the near future.
