Sefer Bnei Ya'akov. [Itur].
[The Sons of Jacob].
Constantinople, Yonah ben Yaakov Ashkenazi, 1714
Sefer HaItur is a halakha (Jewish religious law) book written by Isaac ben Abba Mari (c.1122 – c.1193), who is often simply referred to as 'Ba'al HaItur'. A prominent Rabbi from Marseilles, France, his opus magnum, Itur Soferim (aka Sefer HaItur), discusses Jewish conjugal laws, monetary laws, Jewish holidays, and some of the laws governing the kashrut (Jewish dietary law). He largely based his own work on the judicial decisions passed down by the Babylonian 'Geonic' authority.
This work also includes Responsa, as well as some corrections and notes on the Tur and Maimonides.
First and only edition; folio (31 x 21 cm). [3], 243 ll. Worming and occasional marginal tears to some leaves without loss of text. Edges stained. Modern morocco-backed brown boards, with gilt ornaments and Hebrew title to spine.
