Ramban (Nachmanides) Rabbi Moshe ben Nachman, who lived in
13th-century Spain, was one of the greatest minds in an epoch of
great men. He was a leader, a thinker, a Torah and Talmud
commentator, a halachic decisor, a successful defender of Judaism
against the Church and its Jewish apostates. At the age of 70 he was
exiled from his native Aragon, and during the next three years, he
wrote the monumental Chumash commentary that has stood the test of
over six centuries.
Unexcelled in depth, breadth, scope, and profundity, Ramban's
comprehensive commentary is exceedingly brilliant, exceedingly
seminal - and exceedingly complex. Few are those who have mastered
this masterpiece.
Now,
thanks to a superb group of exceptional scholars, writers, and
editors, Ramban's Chumash commentary is coming alive in English for
everyone. Following the renowned pattern of the magnificent
Schottenstein Edition of the Talmud and the Sapirstein Edition of
Rashi, this classic commentary is presented with unprecedented
clarity.
No
effort has been spared to make this new Chumash clear, accurate, and
"user-friendly". In short, this treatment of Chumash-Ramban will be
the last word for generations to come. When completed, it will be
eight volumes of excellence.
