Intended primarily as a practical guide for ritual slaughterers, the work does not contain any Halachic novellae or sources. R. Weil merely gives the final ruling in its briefest terms as well as local custom. These laws were first published in his responsa, and became accepted as Halachic practice by the Ashkenazim.
