Nahmanides based his work on the best of the earlier Spanish tradition and incorporated into his text the writings of Samuel ha-Nagid (most of which are no longer extant), of Hananel ben Hushi'el, Isaac Alfasi, Isaac ibn Ghayyat, Judah al-Bargeloni, Joseph ibn Migash, and their contemporaries. In addition to his interest in the earlier Spanish scholars, Nahmanides adopted the mode of learning characteristic of the French tosafists, whose teachings were previously little known in Spain and whose method was not followed there. Consequently, he created a synthesis in the method of study of the Talmud in Spain which now became more concerned with comprehending the talmudic argumentation for its own sake (as did the French scholars) rather than with the simple explanation of the halakhah for practical purposes, as had been customary among the Spanish scholars. The text of this manuscript ends with Gittin 86b.
