Is Artscroll gonna make a Rambam? Does it have one already?
Why not make one? The Rambam is one of the biggest Rishonim, so why is Artscroll refraining from making one?Rambam accepts truth regardless of where it comes from.
Is artscroll going to make a tosefta?
I would say that people who learn the Rambam don’t need the Artscroll and others need halacha. The Raavad and Rabbenu Yonah were very harsh as they used the Rambam for halacha everywhere.
Until they do there are very good translations in already. Moznaim and Birnbaum have all of Mishne Torah. Other publishers have printed various sections. But the Rambam wrote it in simple Hebrew. Try to learn with a Chevruta to help with the Hebrew.
The RAMBAM has already been written. are they going to make a translation? don’t know artscroll’s plans. call them and ask. maybe they refrain because it is cost prohibitive.
go to Artscroll website and ask then directly instead posting here, you will get a quick answer
For your information, gonna is not a word but going to. There is a place named Ghana.
Who said translating it into a goyish language is a good thing?
> translating it into a goyish language is a good thing?
Rambam. He used to write in a goyishe language.
@ujm To clarify Rambam’s Mishne Torah was written in Hebrew. Other works such as: Pirush Hamishnayot and Moreh Nevuchim were written in Arabic with Hebrew letters.
Re, zera shimshon – they are responding to the wave of interest people have and the many stories that are circulating over yeshuos that have happenee to people who learn the sefer. If it gets people to learn more, what’s the issue? Derashos ho’ran i really don’t understand….but an artscroll-worthy translation, annotated and explained in their standard is a project that would take probably as long as their Shas.
Isn’t their a translation on Chabad’s website?
without getting into why, lubavitchers learn rambam daily so there are definitely english versions out there of rambam.
This is why i mentioned that if artscroll made a rambam, it would be on par with their shas and mishnayos, etc. Artscroll doesn’t just translate things, they make the material accessible and explain it the way a good mesivta rebbe would. They’ve had unique success in their work.
yes but I feel like they cater to a bigger audience.
Chabad Eliyahu Touger translated Mishne Torah about 30 years ago. It is in print.
My earlier point was that translating Seforim Hakedoshim is not a simple matter. There has been strong legitimate opposition by Gedolei Yisroel to Artscoll translations. Obviously others disagreed, as testified by the haskamos.
Ujm clearly there is no issue with translating the rambam
I’m looking forward to an Artscroll interlinear translation of the Zohar.
Only if Mr. Schottenstein funds it.
