Sefer Hamitzvot is a work listing all the commandments of the Torah, with a brief description for each, and was written by the 12th-century rabbi, philosopher, and physician, Moses Maimonides. While there are various other works titled similarly, the title "Sefer Hamitzvot" without a modifier refers to Maimonides' work.
