{"product_id":"9781618113870","title":"Crafting the 613 Commandments","description":"Rabbinic tradition has it that 613 commandments were given to Moses on Mount Sinai, but it does not specify those included in the enumeration. Maimonides methodically and artfully crafts a list of 613 commandments in a work that serves as a prolegemenon to the Mishneh Torah, his monumental code of law. This book explores the surprising way Maimonides put this tradition to use and his possible rationale for using such a tradition. It also explores many of the philosophical and ethical ideas animating the composition of such a list. In the book's second half, Friedberg examines the manner by which Maimonides formulated positive commandments in the Mishneh Torah, leading him to suggest new dimensions in Maimonides' legal theory.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Academic Studies Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048485568752,"sku":"9781618113870","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781618113870_p0.jpg?v=1763854980","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781618113870","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
