Constantinople, Yonah ben Ya'akov Ashkenazi, 1714
'Sefer HaItur' is a halakha (Jewish religious law) book written by Isaac ben Abba Mari (c. 1122-1193), 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 'Gaonic' authority.
Rabbi Ya'akov Sassoon (c. 1680-1711) was one of the greatest Gaonim (Jewish scholars) of Constantinople.
First and only edition; folio (31 x 21 cm); modern morocco-backed brown boards with gilt ornaments and Hebrew title to spine; worming and occasional marginal tears to some leaves without loss of text, edges stained; [3], 243 ll.
