Torat HaChatat. Cracow, 1577. Second Edition with Author’s Addendums. Rare!
Most rare and complete copy of a fundamental Halachic book.
The book, Torat HaChatat is comprised of laws of permitted and forbidden matters, as per the customs of Poland and Ashkenaz. Authored, by the Rema, Rabbi Moshe Isserles.
The title page features ancient, handwritten ownership listings.

This is an early edition of a fundamental Halachic work by the Rema. The first edition was published during the author’s lifetime, in Cracow, 1569. This edition was published a few years following the Rema’s passing. It includes glosses and addendums that the Rema penned in his own first edition copy, as noted in the title page: “Additions to the first ones published, culled from the book with handwritten edits by the Gaon Rabbi Moshe Isserles z”l prior to his passing.”

It is most rare to discover a complete copy of this book. To the best of our knowledge, over the past few decades, a complete copy has only appeared twice in Public Auctions!
