# The Torat HaBayit comes in two parts, "Aroch" and "Katzar." The Aroch explains the topics from the Gemara, and the Katzar is just a list of the conclusions. The Rashba expressed dissatisfaction with those who only wanted to spread the Katzar and not the Aroch,<ref>Shu"t HaRashba Siman 273</ref> but, unfortunately, even when it was eventually printed, the printers, not just the copyists, did just that. Indeed, there are more manuscripts of the Katzar than the Aroch, indicating a greater reach by the Katzar than the Aroch. Therefore, Rishonim like the [[Tur]] never saw the Bayit HaAroch.<ref>Introduction to Mossad HaRav Kook edition.</ref>
