First published at Krakow in 1617 this is the author's only published work. Born in Mainz between 1420 and 1430 Moses Mintz studied with Jacob Weil and Israel Isserlein and while still quite young was appointed rabbi of Würzburg. Mintz led a peripatetic life which allowed him to investigate Jewish customs and communal regulations in many towns. After the 1453 expulsion of the Jews from Würzburg he returned to Mainz until the expulsion of 1462. He subsequently went to Landau and Ulm. In 1469 he was appointed rabbi of Bamberg. Four years later he was in Nürnberg and the following year in Posen. There he made preparations to emigrate to Palestine but for unknown reasons decided to remain in Posen until the end of his life.<br /> <br /> "Mintz's prominence and recognized authority resulted in may other rabbis turning to him with halakhic queries on such issues as issur ve-heter dietary laws and communal customs" Heller. His circle of correspondents included Israel Isserlein Joseph Colon Eliezer Treves and his cousin Judah Mintz. As the present collection notably deals with practical issues of contemporary importance especially civil and matrimonial law -- including customs and the enactments of Rabbenu Gershom -- they provide insight into Jewish life in fifteenth-century Germany. Issues of some notable responsa include taxes placed on Jews by local rulers; obligations of a wealthy man to his wife's poor relatives; a woman who committed adultery repented and swears the child is from her husband; if a person blind in one eye can be a judge in a case of halitzah when a man is released from the general obligation to marry his deceased brother's widow; and if one should mourn for a murderer. "Of special value are three responsa in manuscript entitled 'The Three Branches' which are an important source for the history of the yeshivot rabbinic schools of Germany in the 15th century. They depict the woeful condition of pupil-teacher relations which had broken down as a result of the arrogance of the teachers and their exaggerated concern for their dignity as well as because of the pupils' desire for greater freedom of activity and the acquisition of social status" EJ.<br /> <br /> Approbations of Istanbul rabbis: Ezekiel Refael Chaim Alfandari; Michael Ashkenazi; Moshe Frishko<br /> <br /> Provenance: Ink stamps of the Yeshiva Ha-Metivta ha-Gedolah Jerusalem at approbation page and bottom margin of one text page.

Some rubbing and wear to extremities rear joint cracked front board detaching interior unevenly toned but clean. Housed in tan slipcase with leather spine labels. Provenance: C.C. Went 1897 signature. First edition. 381 pp. 1 full-page illustration. 8vo. The state legislator's second book The American Safeguard was principally intended as a manual for politicians particularly the sections on parliamentary practice which were probably targeted at Cox's more indecorous colleagues but also designed to be used in classrooms and as a layman's guide. <br /> <br /> As was sometimes the case for Cox himself given his Democratic political leanings news of the work's publication received a frosty reception in the local press including the Oregon Sentinel: "Give us the constitution and tell us what the big words mean; but.spare us the marginal notes especially if they are Confederate Currency." The text of the U.S. Constitution featuring the newly ratified Thirteenth Amendment is indeed accompanied by an "analytical index" and a series of "political definitions." But Cox surprised audiences with the work's "Treatise upon the Government and History of the United States" and "Manual of Political Economy" both of which contradicted Democratic orthodoxies on slavery and protective tariffs. "We must congratulate Mr. Cox on the breadth of his views and the justness of his sentiments" writes a contemporary reviewer in the Portland Oregonian. "He has completely vindicated the course of his political opponents and exposed the errors of his own party." <br /> <br /> The work was reissued in California in 1893; both editions are scarce.
