summary

Numbering over three thousand in total, the RaSHB”A answered all of his responsa directly, and without unnecessary pontification. In addition to halachic questions, which are the majority of the work, the RaSHB”A also dealt with philosophical and theological concerns, shining a light on the spiritual status of Spanish Jewry of the time.
