    Hebrew law, a form of positive biblical law, is comprised of a body of texts and an oral tradition revealed simultaneously at Mount Sinai over 3,320 years ago. Yet, it is undeniably undervalued, misunderstood, and even frequently ignored by the vast majority of contemporary Western legal scholars. The reason? The concealment, distortion, and misrepresentation it has undergone throughout history. In this work, Rémy Scialom provides us with the keys to understanding this law through a carefully selected and annotated anthology that faithfully highlights the vastness and richness of this unique field of study. He reveals the distinctive dynamic of Hebrew law: while its texts establish abstract and absolute divine legal principles, its oral tradition (the hermeneutical and jurisprudential work of the Sages) makes them intelligible by interpreting and humanizing them. Thus, constantly shaped by a living and perpetually evolving law, the uninterrupted development of this legal system ensures its plasticity and adaptability, granting it an eternal contemporaneity. An introduction to Hebrew law, this major work is also a source of reflection on the methods of constructing a legal system and its evolution, inviting jurists to an original and fruitful reflection on the modes of production and evolution of law. This first anthological volume is devoted to the sources and codification of Hebrew law. Part One: The Sources of Hebrew Law (I. Written Torah and Oral Torah; II. The Talmud and Other Sources of Hebrew Law) Part Two: The Codification Project: A Revolution within Hebrew Law (I. The Heterogeneity of Codification Attempts in the Post-Talmudic Period; II. The Culmination of the Codification Process and the Strengthening of Legal Dynamics from the 13th Century to the Present).
