This work investigates Rabbi David ibn Abi Zimra (Radbaz), a leading 16th century rabbinic authority who assumed the role of rendering 'just' decisions, which were occasionally at the expense of conventional law. The author explores Radbaz's decision-making in terms of his insight into the broader purposes of codified law, sensitivity, and overall rationality.
Samuel Morell is Associate Professor, Binghamton University (SUNY). This is his second book on the judicial methodology of sixteenth-century Sephardic rabbinic legalists.
