Studies in the Judicial Methodology of Rabbi David ibn Abi Zimra

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This work investigates Rabbi David ibn Abi Zimra (Radbaz), a leading 16th century rabbinic authority who assumed the role of rendering 'just' decisions, which were occasionally at the expense of conventional law. The author explores Radbaz's decision-making in terms of his insight into the broader purposes of codified law, sensitivity, and overall rationality.
