Many years ago now, with Gerrit Bos, who is now Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies at the University of Cologne, in Germany, I launched the publication of a series of \u201cThe Medical Works of Moses Maimonides\u201d as part of what was then called the Middle Eastern Texts Initiative (METI), based at Brigham Young University and under the auspices of the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship..<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In subsequent years, I was drop-kicked out the door of the Maxwell Institute and METI was eventually handed over to E. J. Brill, in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m pleased, though, that the series that I conceived continues to bear rich fruit. \u00a0And, happily, under the terms that my then-dean negotiated on my behalf, two copies of each new volume are sent to me in perpetuity by the Maxwell Institute.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today, for example, I received in the mail two copies each of two new volumes in the Maimonides series:<\/p>\n
