[THE RESPONSA LITERATURE IN THE RESEARCH OF THE HISTORY OF OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE].
The responsa literature assembles the majority of Jewish Law Literature in the post Talmudic era. The responsa literature has a major contribution to the research of Jewish history. In this review, the use of the responsa literature in research of the history of occupational medicine is demonstrated by comparing the decision-making process of fitness for work presented in the response literature, to the decisions on fitness for work taken by the modern occupational physicians.
