Abstract:
Deals with reactions to the biblical commandment prohibiting Jews from returning to live in Egypt, as discussed in the Talmud, in Maimonides' comments on this prohibition and on his own transgression of it, on the views of the 14th-century Maimonidean Jewish scholar Estori ha-Parhi regarding Maimonides' transgression, and on the views of 16th-century Christian Hebraists who greatly admired Maimonides but were perplexed about his having lived most of his life in Egypt, in the face of the biblical law.
