Rare Pirush HaChassid Yavetz on Tractate Avos; Adrianople, 1555.
Exceedingly rare.
Walmedona-Luntzer collection.
Sefer Pirush HaChassid, a foremost commentary on tractate Avos, authored by Rabbi Yosef Yavetz.
This first edition was published by the grandchildren of the author, sons of Rabbi Yitzchak Yavetz, in
Adrionople, Turkey in 1555. Printed in the Adrionople printing press, this was one of only four Jewish books printed there.
Rabbi Yosef Yavetz, known as HaChassid Yavitz, earned world-acclaim for his holiness and piety. He was a Sephardic rabbi who lived during the era of the Spanish Expulsion. He wrote a well-known introduction to the Ohr HaChaim regarding the expulsion, praising those Jews who believed in G-d with simplicity and without philosophy. Great Chassidic leaders admired his sefarim and Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech of Dinov, author of Bnei Yisaschar, authored treatises on three of his sefarim.
