summary

Baruch ben Isaac of Worms (late 12th - early 13th century) was a member of the Tosafist School that thrived in France, having studied under R. Isaac of Dampierre. For this reason, relatively few German authorities are cited by him, while citations of the master Tosafists Rabbi Samuel ben Meir (RaSHBa”M) and Rabbi Jacob of Romerupt (Rabbeinu Tam) abound in this work. The rulings of Sepher ha-Terumah were subsequently included in later Halachic literature. Among those who invoke its authority are: Rabbis Isaac b. Moses (Or Zaru’a), Moses of Coucy (SeMa”G), Zedekiah Anav (Shibbolei ha-Leket), and Aaron of Lunel (Orchoth Chaim)
