Maimonidean Controversies

Letter from R. David Kamhi to R. Judah Alfakhar – 1233 France The man whom you have favored and called righteous, wise and pure (i.e. Solomon of Montpellier), turned out to be a vicious fool, for he embarked upon a corrupt course and turned informer…For when he saw that the rabbis of France turned their backs upon him, regarding him a fool and recognizing him to be a bearer or false testimony, he turned to the infidel and appealed to them for help in his actions against the Jews.

Letter, continued He applied first to the Fanciscan friars and said to them, ‘Behold most of our people are unbelievers and heretics, for they were led astray by the words of Rabbi Moses of Egypt, who wrote heretical books. Now while you are exterminating the heretics among you, exterminate our heresies as well and order the burnin of those books, namely, The Book of Knowledge and the Guide.’ And He was not fully satisfied unti lhe applied also to the Dominicans and to the priests, making the same request, until the matter ultimately reached the ears of the Cardinal, putting the Jews of Montpellier and its satellite communities in great danger, and exposing them to the ridicule of the Gentiles.”

Does Magic Work? רמב"ם הלכות עבודת כוכבים פרק יא הלכה יא מי שנשכו עקרב או נחש מותר ללחוש על מקום הנשיכה ואפילו בשבת כדי ליישב דעתו ולחזק לבו, אף על פי שאין הדבר מועיל כלום הואיל ומסוכן הוא התירו לו כדי שלא תטרף דעתו עליו. שולחן ערוך יורה דעה סימן קעט סעיף ו מי שנשכו עקרב מותר ללחוש עליו, ואפילו בשבת, ואף על פי שאין הדבר מועיל כלום הואיל ומסוכן הוא התירו, כדי שלא תטרף דעתו עליו.

Vilna Gaon – ביאור הגר"א הרמב"ם וכך כתב בפירוש המשנה לפרק דעבודת כוכבים אבל כל הבאים אחריו חלקו עליו שהרי הרבה לחשים נאמרו בגמרא והוא נמשך אחר הפילוסופיא ולכן כתב שכשפים ושמות ולחשים ושדים וקמיעות הכל הוא שקר אבל כבר הכו אותן על קדקדו שהרי מצינו הרבה מעשיות בגמרא על פי שמות וכשפים... והפילוסופיא הטתו ברוב לקחה לפרש הגמרא הכל בדרך הלציי ולעקור אותם מפשטן וחס ושלום איני מאמין בהם ולא מהם ולא מהמונם אלא כל הדברים הם כפשטן אלא שיש בהם פנימיות, לא פנימיות של בעלי הפלוסופיא שהם חצוניות אלא של בעלי האמת.
