"For more than four centuries, Jewish life has been based on a code of law written
by Joseph Caro, his Shulḥan `aruk ['set table']. The work was an immediate best-seller
because it presented the law in a clear and concise format. Caro's work, however,
was methodologically problematic and was widely criticized in the first generations
after its publication. In this volume, Edward Fram examines Caro's methods as well
as those of two of his contemporaries, Moses Isserles and Solomon Luria. He highlights
criticisms of Caro's legal thought and brings alternative methodologies to the fore.
He also compares these three jurists, while placing their methods, and cases in their
historical, intellectual, and religious contexts. Fram's volume ultimately explains
why Caro's methodologically problematic work won the day, while more sophisticated
approaches remained points of legal reference but fell short of achieving the acceptance
that their authors hoped for."
