Manuscript, Sefer Or Kedem - Laws of Shechita - Yemen, 19th Century
Manuscript, Or Kedem, responsa on the laws of Shechita (ritual slaughter). Neat script with calligraphic headings. [Yemen, ca. 19th century].
The name of the author is not known. In his interesting preface, he notes that he named his composition "Or Kedem - since the numerical value of my name corresponds exactly with that of Kedem". In the Encyclopedia LeChachmei Teiman (I, pp. 303-304), the Or Kedem composition is attributed to R. Shalom Levi, chief rabbi of Damt, southern Yemen (who passed away in 1931). Kitvei HaYad HaTeimaniim BiMechon Ben Tzvi (MS 114, p. 117) lists a manuscript of this composition copied by the above-mentioned R. Shalom HaLevi. Another copying of this same composition is listed there (MS 146, p. 147), where the name Sa'id is assumed to be the numerical equivalent of Kedem. This manuscript was presumably written in the 19th century.
The binding of this manuscript contains parchment leaves taken from a manuscript of the Tafsir of R. Saadia Gaon to Mishlei, in early script, with supralinear vocalization [14th/15th century?].
[55] leaves. Approx. 13 cm. High-quality paper. Good-fair condition. Stains and tears. Original leather binding, inexpertly tanned leather, with remnants of strap closures. Early parchment leaves (incomplete), reused as endpapers.
