: the Rambam's attitude toward shaqla vetarya: EHE 6.

Another source:
Rambam, Issurei Bi'ah 15:2, and the Magid Mishnah sham
    MM: "Lo naniach gemara arukhah venifsoq halakhah mimasa umatan..."

(If you want to remember that mar'eh maqom to be able to find it for
Shabbos, I remembered it from my commute until now with the following
mnemonic:
    - "Tov me'od" in Bereishis refers to the yeitzer hara, and 
    - Of all the yitzrei hara, it was the one on piryah verivyah that
      AKHG tried to eliminate but saw it would have destroyed the world.
    - So issurei bi'ah refers to that which HQBH called tov,
    - 16:2 is T"o:V)
