Jacob ben Asher or Baʿal ha-Turim (
c.1270–1340). Jewish
halakhic authority. Jacob was the son of
Asher b. Jeḥiel. Working in poverty in Toledo, he compiled his halakhic masterpiece the
Arbaʿah Turim (Four Rows, 1475). The
Turim is divided into four parts: (i) Oraḥ Ḥayyim (The Path of Life), the laws concerning religious life through the whole day, including conduct in
synagogue and on fast and festival days; (ii)
Yoreh Deʾah (The Teaching of Knowledge), on
issur ve-hetter, including food, family, mourning, usury, oaths; (iii)
Even ha-Ezer (The Stone of Help), on women, marriage, and divorce; (iv)
Ḥoshen Mishpat (The Breastplate of Judgement), civil law. The work went through many edns., evoking commentaries and epitomes.
