'a book that not only succeeds eminently in satisfying a general educational purpose but is also innovative and enriching in the approach it adopts and in the insight it provides... this book represents an outstanding attempt to illustrate and explain the creation and evolution of those categories in a way which is accessible to the non-specialist reader. The researcher who is not fluent in Hebrew will find the bibliographies at the end of each chapter extremely useful.'
This volume should find its place in introductory classes on Jewish law. (Shofar)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jewish law has a history stretching from the early period to the modern State of Israel, encompassing the Talmud, Geonic and later codifications, the Spanish Golden Age, medieval and modern response, the Holocaust and modern reforms. Fifteen distinct periods are separately studied in this volume, each one by a leading specialist, and the emphasis throughout is on the development of the institutions and sources of the law, providing teachers with the essentialbackground material from which a variety of sources, from many different perspectives, may be taught. Most chapters are written to a common plan, with treatment of the political background of the period andthe nature of Jewish judicial autonomy, the character (literary and legal) of the sources, the legal practice of the period, its principal authorities, and examples of characteristic features of the substantive law (especially in family law). This is an introduction to the history of Jewish law. Organised chronologically to cover the main historical periods, each chapter offers a contextual approach to the main developments in Jewish law, with particular emphasis given to developments in areas such as marriage and divorce.
