In his landmark Beis Yosef,
Rabbi Yosef Karo (1488-1575) established the foundations of halachah for the Jewish nation. He collected all sources of halachos and writings of all the Rishonim, along with any disputes and explanations, and presented them in an organized fashion along with their conclusions. His conclusions were then established as halachah in the Shulchan Aruch.

Rabbi Yosef Karo toiled for two decades to author the Beis Yosef, and then devoted an additional twelve years to editing and preparing it for print. He named this monumental work Beis Yosefupon the instruction of the maggid (angel) who appeared to him and taught him Torah.
