Taamei Halachot is a composition preserved in Maghrebian manuscripts (in various versions). Most of it was never published. It presumably originates from the Torah scholars of Marrakesh, and comprises a compendium of the teachings of Rishonim and Acharonim, halachic rulings and local customs, and more. The present manuscript comprises Taamei Halachot on the laws of Shechitah and Terefot.
