"R. Tam's view that Shittuf (belief in God the Father, along with an additional deity) is permitted to Gentiles was accepted by the Halakhist R. Moses Isserles (Rema. Orah Hayyim 156:1) and later authorities as well. -It is difficult to ascertain Maimonides' view on this subject as a passage relating to it has heen altered in various editions (Yad, Ma'akhalot Asurot 11:7). The Talmudic Encyclopedia also omits reference to Maimonides on this issue (see Ben Noah, 1981 edition, 3:350)."[1]
