The Maggid Mishneh provides a thorough explantion of Maimonides' rulings, tracing them back to their sources, explaining the reasons for his decisions, and defending them against critics, especially the Ravad. Occasionally Rabbi Vidal expresses disagreement with Maimonides.
The Maggid Mishneh encompasses only six of the Mishneh Torah's fourteen volumes.
