Compiled at the beginning of the 12th century, not by Rashi himself but by Shemayah, his pupil, although contains a large number of Rashi’s decisions and responsa. Likutei Hapardess focuses upon the entire field of religious law with only a few remarks on certain phases of civil law. It contains selections from Gaonic Responsa and other Codes as well as Midrashic texts. Waxman suggests that such inclusion in a Code can be explained by the fact that “copies of such texts were rare, and the author who possessed them thought it worthwhile to preserve them for future generations.” See M. Waxman, Vol. I p. 303
