====The Messianic era==== Perhaps one of Maimonides' most highly acclaimed and renowned writings is his treatise on the Messianic era, written originally in [[Judeo-Arabic]] and which he elaborates on in great detail in his Commentary on the [[Mishnah]] (Introduction to the 10th chapter of [[Sanhedrin (tractate)|tractate Sanhedrin]], also known as {{transliteration|he|Pereḳ Ḥeleḳ}}).<!-- Though they're no longer linked to what was previously the entire text of Maimonides on the messianic era quoted in this section (removed per WP:NOFULLTEXT), the notes below *could* be expanded upon in a properly-written subsection on this topic: '''Notes:''' {{notelist|notes= {{efn|name=b|The Judeo-Arabic word used by Maimonides is מעלומהא, or "that which is known by her (i.e., by the soul)," meaning, the ''ens intelligibile''. Some translate this word as "perceived intellect."}} {{efn|name=c|See: [[Mishne Torah]] (''Hil. Teshuvah'', chapter 8), for more on what is meant by "the world to come."}} {{efn|name=d|See: Mishne Torah (''Hil. Yesodei HaTorah'' 4:8[14]) for a discussion on the soul. Elsewhere, in ''Hil. Teshuvah'' 8:3, Maimonides writes: "Every 'soul' that is mentioned here in this context isn't the [animated] spirit that stands in need of a body, but rather the 'form of the soul,' which is the knowledge [attained by the mind] with which one comprehends the Creator according to its ability." See also the ''Guide for the Perplexed'', part iii, the last chapter, on the fourth kind of perfection.}} − {{efn|name=e|This last addition, "but things that can be easily misconstrued," is written in Maimonides' original Judeo-Arabic text, but was omitted in the translated printed texts. Rabbi [[Yosef Qafih]] points out the omission, and inserts it in his new translation. See: ''Mishnah, with Commentary of Maimonides'' (ed. Yosef Qafih), vol. 2, Rav Kook Institute, Jerusalem 1963 (Hebrew)}} }} |} |}-->
