Joseph Karo: Lawyer and Mystic is a scholarly biography of the sixteenth-century rabbi and legal authority Joseph Karo, best known as the author of the Shulchan Arukh, the classic code of Jewish law. The book explores both Karo's role as a legal scholar and his lesser-known mystical experiences.
Drawing extensively on Karo's mystical diary, Maggid Mesharim, Werblowsky examines the intersection of Jewish law, spirituality, and Kabbalah in Safed during the sixteenth century, providing a detailed portrait of one of Judaism's most influential figures.
