The Codification of Jewish Law and an Introduction to the Jurisprudence of the Mishna Berura, analyses the jurisprudential methodology of Rabbi Israel Meir Kagan of Radin, the author of the Mishna Berura. It also provides an introduction to the codification of Jewish law and the methodology of codification more generally.
