Volume 16 of The Jewish Law Annual adds to the growing list of
articles on Jewish Law that have been published in volumes 1-15 of
this series, providing English-speaking readers with scholarly
material meeting the highest academic standards. The volume
contains seven articles diverse in their scope and focus,
encompassing legal, historic, textual, comparitive and conceptual
analysis, as well as a chronicle of cases of interest, and a survey
of recent literature. Three of the articles, one of which explores
references to Genesis in (western) canon law, make up a special
section on the book of Genesis. The other topics covered are:
suicide as an act of atonement in Jewish law; early interpretations
of the Bible and Talmud as reflecting medieval legal realia;
Ashkenazic codifiers in Spain; and authority, custom and innovation
in the seventeenth-century Italian halakhic encyclopedia, Pahad
Yitzhak.
