The nine chapters of Sefer Avodah comprise a legal digest of Israelite cult practices at the Jerusalem Temple: The Chosen Temple; Vessels of the Sanctuary and Those Who Serve Therein; Admission into the Sanctuary; Things Forbidden on the Altar; Sacrificial Procedure; Daily Offerings and Additional Offerings; Sacrifices Rendered Unfit; Service on the Day of Atonement; Trespass. "Whereas Christian interest in Maimonides' thought was focused on his philosophic work the Guide of the Perplexed during the Middle Ages -- the so-called Age of Faith -- this interest shifted during the Renaissance the Reformation and the Enlightenment to his Halakic work the Mishneh Torah. It was through the Mishneh Torah that Christian thinkers and theologians viewed normative Judaism" Dienstag.<br /> <br /> Born Daniel de Weil in the Jewish quarter of Metz Louis-Compiègne de Veil d. c.1710 was the son of the town's rabbi David Weil d. 1645 and a descendant of the Nürnberg rabbi Jacob Weil. Both he and his brother Charles Marie de Veil converted to Catholicism under the influence of the new Catholic archdeacon Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet who arrived at Metz in 1652. The archdeacon "shared in the current apocalyptic excitement of both Christians and Jewish cabbalists and the conviction of the former of an imminent large-scale conversion of the Jews" ODNB. He was sponsored at his baptism by Louis XIV as reflected in his new Christian name and went on to study theology at the Sorbonne. Both Louis and his brother subsequently converted to Calvinism and immigrated to England. "Designated sub-keeper of the Royal Library in 1678 de Veil was licensed ‘ad docendum litteras in et per totam urbem Londinensem' in 1685" Massil. As noted by Dienstag de Veil "devoted himself to the interpretation of Maimonides' code Mishneh Torah."<br /> <br /> The present work was dedicated to the son of Minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert the churchman Jacques Nicolas Colbert 1655-1707 who later become Archbishop of Rouen in 1691 and was one of the first members of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres. <br /> <br /> Provenance and annotations: With the 19th-century bookplate of "Mr. F. Theremin Ministre du S. Evangile" at the front paste-down and his stamp at the bottom margin of the title-page. The opening blank end-leaf contains detailed bibliographical lists in French. The first notes thirteen authors and their works which discuss de Veil including Richard Simon Pierre Daniel Huet and Job Ludolf; the second notes seven bibliographies which include the present work followed by a list of later printings.

La portada condensa gráfica y conceptualmente una "política real y sagrada" basada en las virtudes cristianas y política.

Del otro lado el ejercicio del gobierno se funda sobre la prudencia "Governatum in Prudentia" y se apuntala con la justicia y la fortaleza.
