Why did RaMBaM write a single code of Jewish law after the Talmud?
RaMBaM's introduction to his Mishne Torah traces the chain of Torah from Sinai and explains why a unified code was needed after the Talmud. This bilingual edition presents a new translation of the text in its Geonic and Andalusian context, with a focused, reader-friendly commentary that clarifies key terms and cross-references other works of the tradition.
Based on the most accurate girsaot (textual readings) available, it is a reliable, elegant entry point for students, scholars, and anyone who wants to study the Oral Law as a living legal system.
What Will I Gain from This Book?
