The TaRYaG count-the traditional enumeration of the 613
commandments contained in the five Mosaic books (Torah)-holds a
prominent place in Jewish thought. The tradition is based on an
aggadah found in the Babylonian Talmud and, with some variants, in
Midrash Tanhuma. No one did more to see this count achieve its
place of importance than Moses Maimonides, who, in his Sefer
ha-Mitsvot, methodically crafted a list with the intent of having
it serve as an outline for his upcoming Mishneh Torah, the most
comprehensive code of law in Jewish history. In the first half of
this work, Friedberg investigates Maimonides' methods and reasoning
and arrives at a new and innovative reason for his interest in the
TaRYaG count. Friedberg then continues, carefully examining the
language used for presenting commandments in the Mishneh Torah,
which suggests to him new dimensions in Maimonides' legal theory.
