Maimonides (1135-1204) composed, based upon the Talmud, what is to this day the most comprehensive text on Jewish laws, which he named the Mishneh Torah (commonly called the Yad Hachazakah). All later texts of Jewish law, such as the Shulchan Arukh (pub. 1566), rely heavily upon the Yad Hachazakah.
He also wrote other works, including a commentary on the Mishna, and discussions of belief and attitudes (the Guide to the Perplexed, and the Shemonah Perakim).

He brought the Israelites into the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), and he oversaw the building of the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.35-40), which was the forerunner to the Temple of King Solomon.
