| If you have complaints, try looking through the scripts and responsa as to why these laws are in place. |
| The author of this collection of responsa was a member of a Tunisian family of scholars, most of whose works were published in Leghorn. |
| A vast responsa literature covers the period from the ninth century to the present day. |
| At the heart of the Collection are the first and early editions of Talmud, codes of law, responsa, legal and biblical commentaries and mystical texts. |
| Second, brief compilations of precepts, like the works of Hefez ben Yazliah and the responsa of some Geonim. |
| The codes and responsa provide a wealth of historical and linguistic documentation beyond their purely legal significance. |
