The Encyclopedia of the Jewish Religion refers to Moses Maimonides - TopicsExpress



          

The Encyclopedia of the Jewish Religion refers to Moses Maimonides as the symbol of the pure and orthodox faith. His Guide to the Perplexed is considered the greatest work of Jewish religious philosophy, but his view of Blacks was Hitlerian: [T]he Negroes found in the remote South, and those who resemble them from among them that are with us in these climes. The status of those is like that of irrational animals. To my mind they do not have the rank of men, but have among the beings a rank lower than the rank of man but higher than the rank of apes. For they have the external shape and lineaments of a man and a faculty of discernment that is superior to that of the apes. Moses Maimonides
