Ha'Radbaz Responsa First Section – Venice 1749 – Signatures of Rabbi Yom Tov Meyuchas and many Handwritten Glosses by Him
She’elot U’Teshuvot HaRadbaz part one. By Rabbi David son of Shlomo ibn Zimra, the Radbaz. Approbations of the Rabbis of Jerusalem, Venice and Livorno.
On the book’s title page is the signature of “The young one Yosef Yom Tov Meyuchas”, this is Rabbi Yom Tov Meyuchas son of Rabbi Rafael, one of the Rabbis of Jerusalem, died in 1850. Before us is an extra part of his work which was only known about until now – comments on Shu”t Radbaz!
In the National Library is the manuscript “Sefer Mei HaBe’er, Responsa and Novaelle on the Rambam and Minhagei Yerushalayim”, “complied from the book Pri L’Adama and Comments on Shu”t HaRadbaz…” Minhagei Yerushalayim are “by Rabbi [Yosef] Yom Tov son of Rabbi Meyuchas”. At the end of the aforementioned manuscript is a comment: “The aforementioned Mei HaBe’er is Rabbi Yosef Yom Tov son of Rabbi Meyuchas” [author of the Malbushei Yom Tov].
In another manuscript preserved in the National Library, are “novaelle” from “Yosef son of Rabbi Meyuchas” including novaelle on the Talmud, comments on the Shu”t HaRadbaz, halachic novaelle on the Shulchan Aruch and the Rambam’s Mishneh Torah and various compilations. He signs there: “The young one M.Y BA”R”, just as Rabbi Meyuchas singed the title page of the book before us: “A purchase of my money for the service of my God, the young one M.Y. BA”R”.
In the book are dozens of short glosses, most of them references to other sources and some of them longer, in his handwriting. Some are slightly faded.
