summary

These indices of Rashba's voluminous responsa follow the order of the Shulchan Aruch, Choshen Mishpat through Chapter 291. They would be extremely helpful to a dayan putting at his fingertips, the legal decisions of one of the greatest Rishonim (medieval authorities). R. Solomon ibn Adret, Rabbi of Barcelona (Catalonia) (1235-1310) was acknowledged as the supreme halachic authority of his day
