Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim - Amsterdam, 1720 - Dozens of Scholarly Glosses - Signatures
Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, with the Magen Avraham, Turei Zahav, Ateret Zekenim and Be'er HaGolah commentaries. Amsterdam, [1720].
Additional engraved title page.
The book contains dozens of glosses in neat Ashkenazic script (ca. late 18th century. The glosses were recorded after 1779, since the gloss on p. 308b mentions the book Netiv Chaim, published in 1779).
Signature in the same handwriting on the first title page: "Avraham". We were unable to identify the writer, yet the contents of the glosses disclose that they were written by a Torah scholar of great stature. In his glosses, the writer repeatedly challenges and poses difficulties on the teachings of the Magen Avraham and Taz. He also frequently defends the Levush, and resolves difficulties raised by other commentators on his teachings.
Most of the glosses are trimmed.
Signatures on the second title page: "David son of R. Efraim Fishel", "Wolf(?) Wertheim(?)…".
[3], 1-2, 4-200, 202-322 leaves. Lacking 2 leaves: leaf 3 and leaf 201. Several leaves bound out of sequence. 30 cm. Overall good condition. Stains. Tears to title pages, affecting ornaments and text. Tears to several other leaves, affecting text with some loss, partially completed by hand. New binding.
