Sabbioneta, Tobias Foa, 1559.
First edition of this comprehensive, fundamental commentary by R. Yosef Karo on all the laws of Choshen Mishpat.
With astounding mastery, R. Yosef Karo (1488-1575) anthologized all the halachic-legalistic sources and adjudicative literature from the era of the Poskim HaRishonim. He both analyzed the theories and conclusions of those authorities cited by the Tur, as well as examined the opinions of those authorities that were unrecorded.
Issued by the author in his lifetime. R. Yosef Karo felt called upon to systematize the laws and customs of Judaism in the face of social disintegration as a result of the Spanish Expulsion.
