Rambam, Soncino, 1490 - With Glosses Written in Early Ashkenazi Handwriting from Printing Period
Mishneh Torah L'Rambam, (the volume of Zemanim is almost complete, most of volumes Nashim and Kedusha, and several leaves of volumes Mada and Ahava). [Soncino, 1490].
The sheets have long inscriptions in early Ashkenazi handwriting (characteristic of the printing period, end of 15th century), most are Hagahot Maimoni'ot with appendices and different from the printed version, some of the glosses end with "by Rabbi Shalit" and some end with "the Ramach".
Hagahot Maimoni'ot, are appendices to the Rambam, written by Ashkenazi scholars from the Beit Midrash of the Maharam of Rottenberg, containing a compilation of appendices according to the words of Rashi, Tosfot and the Maharam of Rottenberg and Ashkenazi scholars. This work based on the Ramach (Rabbi Meir HaCohen) disciple of the Maharam of Rottenberg, has undergone additional editing by Ashkenazi scholars. Two versions of editions appear in print and several others in manuscripts. These glosses first appeared in the Rambam edition printed in Constantinople (1509) and are known as "Hagahot Maimoni'ot Constantinople". Hagahot Maimoni'ot printed in the Rambam edition in Venice (1524) have an entirely different version from the Constantinople edition, and these are the glosses printed in all Rambam editions until today.
From initial comparison it seems that the glosses in this manuscript are more similar to the version of Hagahot Maimoni'ot printed in Venice but they have many variations and full sections not found in the printed version. We also note that apparently these glosses were copied from an early manuscript where the Maharam of Rottenberg is still mentioned as "my teacher he shall live long (still alive)", different from the later manuscripts and printed editions.
Additionally, this manuscript has inscriptions and glosses in Yemenite handwriting [c. 17th century].
Approx. 85 leaves (originally: 380 leaves) + one leaf of replacement in Yemenite handwriting. Approx. 30-32 cm. Varied condition, fair to poor, detached leaves, stains, wear and moth damage. The glosses are faded with omissions from wear to the text of the glosses.
