Nachalat Ya'akov Responsa – Padova 1623 – Approbation by the Holy Shela which was Written When He was on His Way to the Land of Israel
Nachalat Ya'akov Responsa. Padova 1623. By Rabbi Ya'akov Heilperin. Single edition (a facsimile edition was printed in recent years). Extremely rare!
A single approbation praising the author and his book by the Holy Shela, who wrote it when he was in Venice on his way to the Land of Israel.
At the beginning of the book, a poem and preface by the author.
Most of the responses are by the rabbis of the generation, who responded to the author's questions. Their names appear at the beginning of the book.
Typographic variations between the copies of this book. See: The Bibliography of the Hebrew Book (the copy before us is similar to copy no. 320 described there). The order of the leaves at the beginning of the book also differs between the copies.
In the copy before us, the last page was printed by a different printing press. [4] leaves at the end of the book are missing.
4, [1], 5-48 leaves.
Condition: Fair. Moth signs and stains. New half-leather binding.
