The Golden Age of Jewish literature is a term used to describe a period of time in which a large number of significant works of Jewish literature were produced. This period is often considered to have occurred during the medieval and early modern eras, in the Islamic Golden Age and in the Jewish Golden Age in Spain, but it can also refer to other periods in Jewish history. During this time, Jewish literature flourished and produced some of the most enduring and important works of Jewish literature.
One of the most well-known and widely celebrated classics of Jewish literature from this period is "The Guide for the Perplexed" by Maimonides, an influential medieval Jewish philosopher, physician and astronomer.
