  • More about Joseph Karo and Shaping of Modern Jewish Law: The Early Modern Ottoman and Global Settings


R. Joseph Karo's double codes of law during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries marked a watershed in the history of Jewish Halakhah [law]. They suggest a new reading beyond the aspects of positive law and continue centuries-long traditions of Jewish erudition, responding to global changes in history of law and legality.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 262 pages
Publication date: 16 April 2024
Publisher: Anthem Press


The double codes of law composed by R. Joseph Karo during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries represent a significant turning point in the history of Jewish Halakhah [law]. No subsequent legal project was proposed by later generations. The books offer a fresh perspective beyond the confines of positive law. R. Karo carried on the centuries-long traditions of Jewish erudition, simultaneously addressing global changes in the history of law and legality, particularly in Europe and, more notably, in the Ottoman Empire. This global reading of Jewish Halakhah and the modernization of Jewish culture in general are integral aspects of his work.
