Constantinople, Chaim Tawil, 1718

Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Rabbi Abraham ben Mordechai HaLevi (1650~1712) was born in Egypt and became one of the head Rabbis of Cairo and a Dayan (a judge in Jewish religious court of law). He was a contemporary of Rabi Moshe ibn Habib (1654-1696), author of Get Pashut, another work on divorce laws.

Yair Nativ deals with laws concerning the arrangement of a get (the divorce approval handed to the wife by the husband, after it was granted by the Rabbinic court of law) by a messenger. The book was printed in 1718 after HaLevi's death, in Constantinople, by his son in law Chaim Tawil.

Signatures of previous owners in old ink to first and last leaves. Contemporary calf backed boards, rebacked(?), late spine label lettered in English, gilt.
