Half dark orange cloth and marbled boards probably early 20th century very good pages tanning. 270 99 1 pp. the second part with questions and answers. Book of Jewish legal deeds and contracts and law first publishedin Amsterdam in 1667. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia "in 1660 he was rabbi of Bamberg with his residence at Zeckendorf. His stay here was of short duration for he made many enemies through his violent temper and the self-assertion which he displayed in his new office; and it was in vain that his relative and subsequent successor warned him that he would endanger his position if he did not heed the views of the German scholars." Sometime around 1665 he resigned the rabbinate and had the time to compose this book. "Samuel's chief work to which he owes his general popularity appeared in Amsterdam 1667-68 under the title "Na alat Shib'ah" being a collection of formulas for all documents and records interspersed with thorough discussions of questions of civil and matrimonial laws in connection therewith. A second edition of this work with much supplementary matter appeared Frankfort-on-the-Main 1681 shortly before his death under the title "Mahadura Batra le-Sefer Na alat Shib'ah." After his decease the responsa written by him or addressed to him by others were published by his son Abraham. S. Orgelbrand Sons hardcover

Moses Maimonides Rambam was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure both during his lifetime and after his death but generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba Spain but fled as a child from the Almohad persecution. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi physician and philosopher. His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah his only work not in Arabic still carries canonical authority particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community as the codification of Talmudic law. His other work includes a commentary on the Mishnah entitled Kitab al-Siraj Kitab al-Fara'I a book on precepts and the philosophical work Dalalat al-Ha'irin known in Hebrew as the Moreh Nevukhim The Guide to the Perplexed. The major premise is an attempted philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages. On the editor: Moritz Steinschneider 1816 – 1907 was a Bohemian Orientalist and bibliographer. He received his early instruction in Hebrew from Jacob Steinschneider 1782 - 1856 his father who was not well versed in both Talmud and secular science. In order to show the part that Jews had taken in the general history of civilization Kulturgeschichte Steinschneider chose fields unrelated to Jewish religion and theology like mathematics medicine natural history and philology. He was the first scholar to give a systematic survey of Jewish literature till the end of the eighteenth century and to publish catalogues of the Hebrew manuscripts and books which are found in the public libraries of Europe. The Bodleian catalogue was the foundation of his reputation as the greatest Jewish bibliographer.
