This lucid study is the first thorough literaryhistorical study of the Mishneh Torah. Twersky analyzes the reasons for the Codes composition, its relationship to Maimonides other works, the milieu in which it was written, and illuminates the reasons for its lasting importance.Library JournalCitation as Winner of the 1980 Kenneth B.
