The modifications of Roman law by the Church in the Middle Ages, the covenant law of the American Puritans, and a significant portion of Anglo-American secular law has been derived from and influenced by this older legal tradition. At the same time, because so much of that tradition has been embodied in Hebrew and Aramaic texts, it had remained largely inaccessible to all but Talmudic scholars until the publication of Horowit's work. 531 $aSpirit of Jewish Law 606 $aLaw$xGeneral and Others 606 $aJewish law 615 0$aLaw$xGeneral and Others. 615 0$aJewish law. 676 $a296.38 700 $aHorowitz$b George$f1894-$0261177 702 $aPool$b David de Sola 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910229785403321 996 $aThe spirit of Jewish law$93380757 997 $aUNINA
