This book explores Maimonides' rationale for crafting the tradition of the Mishneh Torah and the surprising way he put it to use. It examines many of the philosophical and ethical ideas animating the composition of such a list and discusses the manner by which Maimonides formulated positive commandments in the Mishneh Torah, suggesting new dimensions in Maimonides' legal theory.
