The "Raavad" was a prolific author. He not only wrote answers to hundreds of learned questions—which responsa are still partially preserved in the collections "Temim De'im", "Orot Hayyim", and Shibbolei haLeket – but he also wrote a commentary on the whole Talmud and compiled several compendiums of halakha, and also a chronicle entitled ""Sefer HaKabbalah le-Ravad"." In 1991, Rabbi Yosef Qafih published a compendium of his responsa which he gleaned from various sources, forty-two of which derived from handwritten manuscripts in his own possession.
