The only work of the Spanish Rabbi, Isaac Canpanton (1360-1463). He lived at a time when Jewish scholarship and Talmudic erudition was on the decline among the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula. His work is a useful contribution to Talmudic methodology, attempting to provide a practical guide for teachers of the Talmud. It is one of the earliest examples of a genre that has come to be known as “Siphrei HaKelalim.” In the later Mantua (1593) edition the title was changed to Darchei HaGemara.
