Solomon Luria's Responsa: Digested and Edited from the Hebrew and Provided with Notes and an Introduction

The purpose of digesting rabbinical responsa into English is to afford the English reader an opportunity to learn Jewish life through first hand information. In the following pages I have endeavored to present a digest of Solomon Luria's responsa in the hope that many other responsa will be give similar treatment. This work is not designed to form a biography of one of the great rabbis who wrote responsa, but to show the value of responsa proper as a source for Jewish history and law.
