Rashba Responsa Attributed to the Ramban - Venice, 1519 - First Edition - Fancy Copy
Responsa of Rabbi Moshe Bar Nachman. Venice, [1519].
A collection of queries and responses by Rabbi Shlomo ben Aderet (Rashba), mistakenly attributed to the Ramban. 288 responsa. In the introduction, the proofreader writes: "For the sake of the truth¦ I am informing¦ that these responsa attributed to¦ Rabbi Moshe Bar Nachman. Indeed, many others are written in them such as the Rashba and his followers and such in many places from the Torah geniuses that have learned their Torah from him¦ ". The book has been attributed to the Ramban because of Siman 284, where there is an explicit responsum of the Ramban to Rabbeinu Yonah, but really only that responsum is by the Ramban and the remainder are by the Rashba. (See the words of Rabbi Yosef Karo in his introduction to Beit Yosef: "I have seen a few responsa of the Rashba printed with a metal pen and lead, introduced as if they are from the Ramban").
94 leaves, 26 cm. Fancy copy, wide margins and light-colored paper, professionally restored wear and moth damage to margins. Fancy leather binding.
