Description
Maimonides composed his Judeo-Arabic commentary on the Mishnah (known in Arabic as Kitab al-Siraj; in Hebrew, Sefer ha Ma’or) between 1145 and 1168. The Mishnah, compiled in the 2nd century CE by Judah ha-Nasi, is divided into six main sections (Seeds, Festivals, Women, Torts, Sacred Things, and Purity) which are in turn subdivided into many smaller sections. Maimonides’ commentary can be distinguished from the text of the Mishnah by the type face; the text is in a so-called square script, while the commentary is in a Sephardi script.
