Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat – Amsterdam, 1785 – Hundreds of Lengthy Glosses, by Two Unidentified Scholars – With Many Excerpts and Testimonies on Rulings of Moroccan Rabbis
Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat, with Be'er HaGola and Be'er Heitev. [Amsterdam, 1785].
Volume lacking beginning and end. Hundreds of marginal notes in Sephardic (Western) script, by two unidentified writers, Moroccan sages.
The first writer wrote in tiny, neat script, and quotes Moroccan scholars extensively. He repeatedly brings the teaching of R. Yosef Elmaliach from his book Tokfo shel Yosef (quoted with the acronym T.Sh.Y.) and the teaching of R. Yaakov Pinto. In many places he establishes the Halacha ("and so is the Halacha", "and this is correct", or "this is not the Halacha", and the like). In many places he testifies on the custom in his place and time. On p. 111a he writes: "and so ruled R. Yehuda ben Attar and R. Yaakov Even Tzur. On p. 302b he writes: "and so ruled the sages of Meknes and Maharsha disagreed with them" [Maharsha refers to R. Shomo Asabbag, one of the rabbis of Mogador (Essaouira)], and more.
The second writer, in larger script, brings excerpts from the books of leading Maghrebi rabbis, adding testimonies from his personal experience and various other sources: "and so I saw ruled…" (p. 64a), "and so we rule…"(p. 83a), "and so the Marrakech sages wrote in one ruling" (p. 161a), "and so ruled the Maghrebi sages, and the sages of Marrakech concurred with their decision…" (p. 304b), and more. See enclosed leaf with partial breakdown of the contents of the glosses.
42-369 leaves. Lacking beginning and end (originally: [4], 396 leaves). 18 cm. Fair condition. Some of the glosses are trimmed. Stains. Much wear. Tears and worming affecting (printed and handwritten) text. Without binding.
