A Wikipedia article on Maimonides, the twelfth century Sephardic rabbi, physician and philosopher whose Mishneh Torah and Guide for the Perplexed shaped Jewish law and thought. Its own infobox uses the 1744 Thesaurus Antiquitatum Sacrarum engraving as Maimonides's lead portrait, captioned as the posthumous image from which all modern portraits of him derive, and cites the same peer-reviewed appraisal of that engraving used here, independently agreeing with it on the image's date and status.
