R. Moïse Ben Barukh Almosnino (v. 1515-1580) fut une figure majeure du judaïsme classique. Installé dans l'Empire ottoman, il possédait une grande maîtrise des connaissances juives et profanes, et fut connu pour ses Responsa et ses exégèses des textes juifs. Il s'intéressa également à plusieurs domaines scientifiques, traduisit et commenta des oeuvres d'Aristote et d'autres savants. Almosnino écrivit sur des sujets tels que l'éthique, notamment des commentaires sur l' "Éthique à Nicomaque" et "Pirkei Avot" . Il rédigea également "Extremos y grandezas de Constantinopla" , une oeuvre historique en judéo-espagnol. Son ouvrage original "Regimiento de la Vida" (Conduite de vie), un traité d'éthique, fut publié de son vivant en 1564 et reste à ce jour une référence de la littérature classique judéo-espagnole.

Résumé
The major work of Rabbi Moses Almosnino (1515-1580), "Conduct of Life," remains to this day an essential reference in classical Judeo-Spanish literature, now finally available in English in its first translation. First published in Ladino in 1564 as Sefer Hanhagat hachayim, and in 1729 "Regimiento de la vida", this three-volume edition is part of the prestigious collection Veritas è terra orietur.
The introduction by Jean-Pierre Rothschild, Director of Research at CNRS and Director of Studies at EPHE, specializing in medieval philosophy, enlightens the reader on the foundations and stakes of the work. The first volume aims to provide practical advice for leading a good life from an early age. It emphasizes the distinction between spiritual, physical, and external goods (I, ch. 1-3), including suggestions on dietary habits, sleep and waking, going to bed and getting up, walking and sitting, speaking and silence (I, ch.
4-10), the four types of discourse (I, ch. u), and why the righteous die young (I, ch. u). Finally, it addresses questions on eschatology, classical philosophy, and theodicy (I, ch.12-14). "Conduct of Life" draws heavily from the Nicomachean Ethics but transcends this source by situating itself at the universal intersection of several traditions : Greco-Arabic philosophy, Judeo-Christian scholasticism, classical Sephardic Judaism, and medieval Jewish thought.
Thus, this work contributes to peace and intercultural understanding among peoples.
