The ''Sefer Mitzvot Gadol'' (in [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]: ספר מצוות גדול) (in [[English language|English]]: ''The Great Book of [[Mitzvah|Commandments]]''; abbreviated סמ"ג "SeMaG"), completed in 1247,<ref>{{Cite journal|jstor = 41310619|title = The Significance of Form: R.

Rabbi Moses' arrangement and presentation are heavily influenced by [[Maimonides]]' discussion of the commandments in the ''[[Sefer Hamitzvot]]'' and by his codification of the [[Halakha]] in the ''[[Mishneh Torah]]''. However, unlike Maimonides, Rabbi Moses presents lengthy discussions of the different interpretations and legal opinions. He also makes extensive use of other [[Halakha#Codes of Jewish law|codes]], and particularly of the commentaries of [[Rashi]] and the [[Tosafot]], usually favouring these [[Ashkenazi Jews|Ashkenazi]] [[Oral Torah|traditions]] over Maimonides.
