Shivnaz Bharadwaj (drinkerofsoma) | 2 comments Am wondering if anyone can properly capitalize the title of this text? Also, add the following blurb from the info on the back of the book instead of what is listed on the page:

"The world of mediaeval Jewish philosophy, often discussed only in the context of developments within Christendom and Islam, possessed a rich, integrated, and internally matured tradition. Isaac Husik's monumental account of its development should serve to place in perspective the role which philosophy played in the articulation fo the Jewish world-view. Beginning with its seminal creators, Isaac Israeli and Saadia Gaon, Husik traces its history through the great creative figures of the Judeo-Islamic Age — Ibn Gabirol, Bahya ibn Pakuda, Judah Halevi, and Maimonides — and closes with a presentation of the thought of those last and traditional thinkers, Gresonides, Crescas, and Albo.

A History of Mediaeval Jewish Philosophy is a fundamental and indispensable work for students and laymen concerned with the development of Jewish religion and the enlargement of Western tradition in which Jewish philosophy played a vital and creative role."
