Mishneh Torah
Sefer Yad ha-Hazaka (Book of the Strong Hand)
Book • 1180
The Mishneh Torah is a 14-volume compendium of Jewish law, authored by Maimonides.
It gathers all the binding laws from the Talmud and incorporates the positions of the Geonim.
The work is designed to provide a complete statement of the Oral Law, making it unnecessary for readers to consult other texts.
Despite initial opposition due to its lack of sources and perceived intent to supersede Talmudic study, it has become a highly influential work in Jewish religious thought and law.
