Maaseh Nissim. Questions by Rabbeinu Daniel HaBavli on the Rambam's Sefer MaMitzvot and responsa on the questions by the Rambam's son, Rabbeinu Avraham. Arabic with Hebrew translation by B"G [Ber Goldberg]. Paris, 1867. Pedigreed copy.

Specifications: [2]  XVIII, [1]  p., 20 cm.

Background: The handwritten manuscript was held in an Oxford library and printed here for the first time. The book was published under the auspices of Minister Nissim Shemama, and was therefore called Maaseh Nissim. On pages II-XIII: 'The trials experienced by our father Abraham, he is Rabbi Abraham Chassid son of the Rambam z"l Acharei Mot Moshe Ish HaElokim,' by the translator.

Unique Features: Contains the signature of Admor Rabbi Nachum Dovber Friedman of Sadigura, with his stamp as well as the stamp 'Kinyan Caspi.' Behind the binding is a sticker stating: "The Book Collection of Rabbi Nachum Dov Friedman in Sadigura." The Admor Rabbi Menachem Nachum Dov of Sadigura [1843-1883] had a large library and signed the books according to their origin. In this book he signed 'Kinyan Caspi' which means that he bought the book for his own study. In addition, the book before us contains his handwritten signature, an uncommon signature, as well as a sticker not found in most of the books which were in his possession.

Condition: Very fine. Original cover.
