The Anatomy of Figuration: Maimonides' Exegesis of Natural Convulsions in Apocalyptic Texts (Guide II.29)

Christopher Buck

Analyzes Maimonides' political reading of cosmic upheaval, dynasty destruction, and new heavens/earth. Helps distinguish figurative interpretation from an asserted physical prediction. Buck's reconstruction of possible contemporary messianic reapplication remains an inference.
