summary

The most notable of the thirteenth century Italian Codes, the Shiboleh Ha’leket deals only with the laws of ritual and Festivals. In the introduction the author states his purpose is to sift those decisions, from the mass of opinions, that might be relied upon to teach the correct mode of religious conduct. See M. Waxman, Vol. II, pp. 130-132.
