La legge del popolo Ebreo

The author offers a combined exposition and critical history of Jewish law, tracing its evolution from early Pentateuchal material through successive legislative collections. He questions unitary authorship of the Pentateuch, analyzes the Decalogue, early civil codes, the Deuteronomic compilation, and priestly and Ezekielic legislative layers. Parallel attention is given to the Talmudic expansion of ritual and civil prescriptions, with references to rabbinic commentaries and later codifiers. The treatment favors chronological reconstruction over topical arrangement, reproducing and translating key law-collections, noting repetitions, and providing an alphabetical index for reference.
