The principal work, however, with which Judah's name is connected is the Sefer ?asidim (Bologna, 1538; Basel, 1580, and often reprinted).[25] The book contains ethical, ascetic, and mystical sentences, intermingled with elements of German popular belief. It deals (§§ 1-13) with piety (heading, Shemuel; so-called Sefer ha-Yir'ah); (§§ 14-26), reward and punishment, penitence, the hereafter, etc. (heading, Sefer ha-?asidim; so-called Sefer Teshuvah); (§§ 27-489), authorship of the book, pride, the hereafter and retribution, penitence and sinful desires, fasting and fast-days, suspicion, public mortification, martyrdom, etc. (heading, Zeh Sefer ha-?asidim); (§§ 490-638), the Sabbath; (§§ 639-746), tefillin, ?i?it, mezuzot, books; (§§ 747-856), the study of the Law; (§§ 857-929), charity; (§§ 930-970), reverence for parents; (§§ 971-1386), piety, worship of God, prayer, visiting the sick, etc.; (§§ 1387-1426), excommunication and oaths; the final paragraphs repeat and amplify upon matter previously discussed.

The Sefer ?asidim is not a uniform work, nor is it the product of one author. It has been said that Samuel he-?asid is the author of the first twenty-six sections.[26] In its present form the book contains, according to Güdemann, three revisions of the same original work,[27] of which Judah is undoubtedly the author; and both the contents and language of the book indicate that it originated in Germany. Important additions were made also by Judah's pupil Eleazar Ro?ea?,[28] for which reason the authorship of the whole work has sometimes been ascribed to him. On account of the fact that collectors and copyists used varying recensions, sometimes the same passage occurs two or three times in different parts of the Sefer ?asidim. Some fragments of other books are inserted (as § 33, Isaac Alfasi's Halakot; § 36, Saadia Gaon's Emunot we-De'ot; § 431, Yerushalmi Berakot; §§ 30-32, R. Nissim's Megillat Setarim). It consists, according to the edition of Basel, of 1,172 paragraphs; according to the last edition, of 1,903. Chosen parts have been translated into German by Zunz.[29] The Book of the Pious is an exceedingly rich source for the Kulturgeschichte of the Jews in the Middle Ages.[30] Judah he-?asid has often been confounded with Judah Sir Leon of Paris,[31] who is also called he-?asid, which is nothing but an honorable title usual in his age. The fact that French words are to be found in the Book of the Pious and that it reflects French conditions caused Grätz also to attribute its authorship to Judah Sir Leon he-?asid. But the reasons given by Grätz are not tenable.
