Shavuot is a time for reviewing "Minyan HaMmitzvot" ...
The Rambam authored a classic with his "so-called" Sefer HaMitzvot, [not its original title]. Along with various commentaries, it has become a classic in its field. It has influenced almost every subsequent sefer on Mitzvot since.
The Chofetz Chaim did author Sefer HaMitzvot HaKatzar, which focused upon those Mitzvot still applicable bizman hazzeh. But what I have in mind would contain all Taryag Mitzvot in the mix.
While the Rambam La'Am has a separate commentary on the Classic Sefer HaMmitzvot, they also created a de facto "Reader's Digest" version of ShM.
The Rambam lists his Taryag at the end of his Haqdamah to his Mishneh Torah. However, the Rambam La'Am altered this and instead took the Rambam's List of Mitzvot from each of the Koteret in front of each sefer in the Yad, and in the Koteret of each set of Halachot contained therein.
"Hishmatnu kan minyan hammitzvos harogil, v'anu nos'nim Minyan HaMmitzvot al Seder Hillchot HaRambam Z"L."
EG Sefer Hammada Hillchoyav Hamesh..
Then HIlchos Y'dosei HaTtorah 10 Mitzvot, 1. to Know that there is a G-d....
There are several factors making this more than a mere Minyan HaMitzvot, Namely
1. They are categorized by subject
2. The Passuk is cited [which is sometimes also found in some Minyan Hamitzvot]
3. The Rambam La'Am's commentary adds a dimension beyond a mere enumeration.
Consider this useful in at least 3 ways.
1. As a stand-alone "short version"
2. As an introduction to the Sefer HaMmitzvot
3. Or as a review book.
