"Maimonides' monumental 14-volume code on Jewish law has had a profound influence on Jewish life since the Middle Ages. This lucid study is the first thorough literary-historical study of the Mishneh Torah. Twersky ... analyzes the reasons for the Code's composition, its relationship to Maimonides' other works, the milieu in which it was written, and illuminates the reasons for its lasting importance."--Library Journal
