Maimonides composed works of Jewish scholarship, [[halakhah|rabbinic law]], philosophy, and medical texts. Most of Maimonides' works were written in [[Judeo-Arabic languages|Judeo-Arabic]]. However, the {{transliteration|he|Mishneh Torah}} was written in Hebrew. In addition to Mishneh Torah, his Jewish texts were:
* ''[[Mishnah#Commentaries|Commentary on the Mishna]]'' (Arabic {{transliteration|ar|Kitab al-Siraj}}, translated into Hebrew as {{transliteration|he|Pirush Hamishnayot}}), written in [[Classical Arabic]] using the [[Hebrew alphabet]]. This was the first full commentary ever written on the entire Mishnah, which took Maimonides seven years to complete. It is considered one of the most important Mishnah commentaries, having enjoyed great popularity both in its Arabic original and its medieval Hebrew translation. The commentary includes three philosophical introductions which were also highly influential:
** The Introduction to the Mishnah deals with the nature of the oral law, the distinction between the prophet and the sage, and the organizational structure of the Mishnah.
** The Introduction to Mishnah [[Sanhedrin (tractate)|Sanhedrin]], chapter ten ({{transliteration|he|Pereḳ Ḥeleḳ}}), is an eschatological essay that concludes with Maimonides' famous creed ("the thirteen principles of faith").
** The Introduction to [[Pirkei Avot]], popularly called ''The Eight Chapters'', is an ethical treatise.
* {{transliteration|he|[[Sefer Hamitzvot]]}} (''The Book of Commandments''). In this work, Maimonides lists all the [[613 commandments|613 mitzvot]] traditionally contained in the Torah (Pentateuch). He describes fourteen {{transliteration|he|shorashim}} (roots or principles) to guide his selection.
* {{transliteration|he|Sefer Ha'shamad}} (''Letter of Martydom'')
* ''[[The Guide for the Perplexed]]'', a philosophical work harmonising and differentiating Aristotle's philosophy and Jewish theology. Written in Judeo-Arabic under the title {{transliteration |ar|Dalālat al-ḥāʾirīn}}, and completed between 1186 and 1190.<ref>Kehot Publication Society, Chabad.org.</ref>{{better source needed|date=January 2022}} It has been suggested that the title is derived from the Arabic phrase ''dalīl al-mutaḥayyirin'' (guide of the perplexed) a name for God in a work by [[al-Ghazālī]], echoes of whose work can be found elsewhere in Maimonides.<ref>[[Sarah Stroumsa]],  ''Maimonides in His World: Portrait of a Mediterranean Thinker,'' [[Princeton University Press]] 2011 {{isbn|978-0-691-15252-3}} p.25</ref> The first translation of this work into Hebrew was done by [[Samuel ibn Tibbon]] in 1204 just prior to Maimonides' death.<ref name=WDL1/>
* {{transliteration|he|Teshuvot}}, collected correspondence and [[responsa]], including a number of public letters (on resurrection and the [[afterlife]], on conversion to other faiths, and {{transliteration|he|[[The Yemen Epistle|Iggereth Teiman]]}}—addressed to the oppressed [[Yemenite Jews|Jewry of Yemen]]).
* {{transliteration|he|Hilkhot ha-Yerushalmi}}, a fragment of a commentary on the Jerusalem Talmud, identified and published by [[Saul Lieberman]] in 1947.
* Commentaries to the [[Babylonian Talmud]], of which fragments survive.<ref>Published [http://www.otzar.org/wotzar/Book.aspx?378 here]; see discussion [https://forum.otzar.org/viewtopic.php?t=15854 here].</ref>
