The Sepher Ha’Agudah is a widely-popular, authoritative Code, cited extensively by R. Ya’akov HaLevi Moellin (Mahari’l) and R. Moshe Isserles (Ram’a). It was published from a manuscript with corrections supplied by R. Yoseph HaKohen (author of responsa She’erith Yoseph and brother-in-law of the Ram’a).


The author of Sepher Ha’Agudah (d. 1348), was a disciple of R. Isaac of Dueren and served as rabbi in Cologne, Worms and Frankfurt. See EJ, Vol. II, cols. 585-6.
