Binyamin Ze'ev Responsa - Venice, 1539 - Extremely Rare - Ancient, Handwritten Glosses
By Rabbi Binyamin ben Rabbi Mataya. Venice, 1539. First edition. Extremely rare book.
The book spurred a widespread polemic (see the introduction of Me'ir Bnayahu to Hotza'at Yerushalayim, 1989). In addition, in most of the copies, many leaves were censored.
Lacking copy: the copy includes leaves 295-565 (originally: 367, [2] 376-399, 399-575 leaves).
On leaves 384 and 456, three handwritten halachic glosses in ancient Ashkenazi script. The identity of the writer is unknown.
Ownership inscriptions in Sephardic handwriting.
20 cm.
Condition: Good-Fair. Varying among the leaves. Moth damage.
