Ma'arechet HaElokut – Mantua, 1558 – Signatures and Glosses, Yemen
Ma'arechet HaElokut, matters of faith, Kabala and Jewish philosophy, attributed to Rabbi Peretz ben Yitzchak of Gironde, with the commentary of Rabbi Yehuda Chait and another commentary. Mantua, Rosh Chodesh Adar Sheni, [February] 1558. Printed by Meir ben Efraim of Padova and Ya'akov ben Naftali HaCohem of Gazzola.
This edition was printed four months after the first edition was printed in Ferrara in the month of Cheshvan [October] 1557. The difference between the editions is the "other" commentary which was printed in the first edition under the name "Anonymous commentary". In this edition, many sections of the commentary based on Greek philosophers were omitted, and many sections of explanations by other authors were added. The proofreader of the Mantua edition, Rabbi Emanuel Benvento hints to this in his introduction, "You will not see (in this edition) the opinions of Aristotle and his disciples and no quotes from non-Jews…".
Various signatures by Yemenite Jews who lived in Yemen, Eden and Bombay, dated 1858-1888, and long, substantial glosses (most are cutoff).
4, 208 leaves. 18 cm. High-quality paper, good-fair condition, many stains. Last leaves have wear damages and worm marks. Damaged and restored title page. Rubbed leather binding.
