  Parshat Chukat 5762 - Special Features - OU.ORG
The forerunner to the Shulhan Aruch is the work Arbaah Turim (Four Rows) by Rabbi Jacob, the son of the aforementioned Rabbi Asher b.
The Arbaah Turim, published in the early part of the fourteenth century, remained one of the prime authoritative codes until the middle of the sixteenth century.
Because his original work was a commentary on the Arbaah Turim, the sequence of the Shulhan Aruch is the same as that of the Arbaah Turim.

 Shulkhan Arukh   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
In form it is a commentary upon Jacob ben Asher's Arba'ah Turim ("Tur"); but it is really much more comprehensive, going back to the Talmud and the Midrash compilations relating to Jewish law.
This book, which for centuries was, and essentially still is, "the code" of rabbinical Judaism for all ritual and legal questions that obtained after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, has a remarkable history.
The strongest criticism against all such codes of Jewish law is that they inherently was that it violated the ancient precept that halakha must be decided according to the later sages; this precept is known as hilkheta ke-vatra'ei ("the halakhah follows the later ones").

 Beth midrash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Generally, there are either benches or chairs, and lecterns (shtenders in Yiddish), or tables, on which books are placed, and chairs for seating.
A characteristic Beth midrash has at least several copies of the Talmud, Torah, siddur (for prayers), and at least one or two copies of the Shulkhan Arukh, Mishneh Torah, Arbaah Turim and some other oft-consulted works.
In the times of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), and the Mishna, most Torah study probably took place in the Beth din (Rabbinical court), where religious law was delibrated as part of the judicial process.

 The Arba'ah Turim   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
The single incunable edition from the Ottoman Empire mentioned above, is Jacob ben Asher's fourteenth-century Arba'ah Turim (Four Orders of the Code of Law) printed by the brothers David and Samuel Ibn Nahmias at Constantinople and completed on 4 Tevet 5254 (13 December 1493 CE).
The outbreak of plague shortly after their arrival probably caused them to flee (possibly accompanied by typesetters and pressmen from Naples) to Constantinople, where the sultan, Bayazid II, was known to welcome Jewish refugees.
During the whole year 1493 CE they worked on the production of their book, the best seller Arbaah Turim by Jacob ben Asher, assisted by the Turkish-Jewish scholar Eliah ben Benjamin Halevi as editor and proof-reader.

 Rosenthaliana. The first printed book produced at Constantinople   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
The single incunable edition from the Ottoman Empire mentioned above, is Jacob ben Asher's fourteenthcentury Arbaah Turim (Four Orders of the Code of Law) printed by the brothers David and Samuel Ibn Nahmias at Constantinople and completed on 4 Tevet 5254 (13 December 1493).
However, the semi-cursive type used for the text appears to be identical to the type used by Joshua Solomon Soncino at Naples in 1490 - 1491.
The outbreak of plague shortly after their arrival probably caused them to flee (possibly accompanied by typesetters and pressmen from Naples) to Constantinople, where the sultan, Bayazid II, was known to welcome Jewish refugees.

 A biography of Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher - Baal Haturim
However, unlike Maimonides' Mishneh Torah, the Arbaah Turim covers only those areas of Jewish religious law that were inforced in the author's time.
Rabbi Yaacov did not deal with criminal law, let alone with the sacrifices or the Zera'im (agricultural precepts that could be observed only in the Holy Land.) The code is divided into four main topics, each of which is divided into a sequence of numbered paragraphs.
The influence of the Arbaah Turim is thus perceptible in its integration of the Franco-German and Spanish legal traditions.

 Tur on the Torah (4 volume set) by Rabbi Yaakov ben Rabbeinu Asher
The less well-known "other" Torah commentary of Rabbi Yaakov ben Rabbeinu Asher (Ro"sh), the author of the Arba Turim and the Baal Haturim commentary, now in English
The Arbaah Turim, his codification of halacha, served as the basis for Rabbi Yosef Karo's Shulchan Aruch, which remains to this day Judaism's primary halachic compendium.
Ironically, the one that he considered the less important of the two, known as the Baal Haturim commentary, became the more well-known and popular.
