The Ethics of Maimonides
I. Friedlaender, Arabic Writings of M., p. 32), M. mentions his intention of writing a Book on Prophecy and a Book of Harmony (ולפיכך אניח אותו למקומו אם בפירוש הדרשות אשר יעדתי או בספר הנבואה שאני מתעסק בו וכ׳), for the purpose of elucidating the exoteric lessons of the prophets and of the Midrashim. After having started, however, he abandoned this intention, and later incorporated the material for the Book on Prophecy in the Moreh, Part II, in chapters 32 to 48, and that of the Book of Harmony (ספר ההשואה) he scattered throughout the Moreh. See Moreh, I, Introd.; Bloch, Charakteristik und Inhaltsangabe des Moreh Nebuchim, in Moses ben Maimon, I, pp. 7, 8 and 15.
