Rabbi Yosef Karo (Judaism)

Known as the "Mechaber," the Compiler, (1488-1575), for his work on the Shulchan Aruch, which represented a compendium of Jewish Law, as seen from the Sephardic Side. Before he produced the Shulchan Aruch, he had actually written a work of which the Shulchan Aruch was merely a digest. This was the Beit Yosef, which was a commentary on a work known as the Four Turim, by Rabbi Yaakov ben HaRosh, in which Karo presented the Talmudic arguments related to each topic discussed, and explained the reason(s) for the Halachic decision.
