Ha-Agur HaShalem : Rabbi Yaakov Baruch Landau

The Agur contains only those rules that a layman should know, and comprises principally an abridged presentation of the material treated in the first and second parts of the Turim. The author of the Turim, Rabbenu Yaakov ben Asher, is Landau's chief authority, and the Agur may be considered really as a supplement to that work. In the Agur, Landau gives excerpts from the halakhic literature which appeared after the time of Rabbenu Yaakov ben Asher.

Although the Agur possesses little originality, it held an important position among law codes, and is often quoted, especially by Maran Yosef Caro in the Shulchan Aruch.
