Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim. Venice, 1574. Small Volume
Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim for elders and youths in a small volume so it can be carried easily ... with the addition of word explanations. Venice, Bragadin Press, 1574. Incomplete copy.
Rare early edition of the Shulchan Aruch, printed without Hagahot HaRam"a. An especially rare edition, the sefer listed in Mif'al HaBibliographiah is a copy in the Bar Ilan Library. The copy in the National Library is lacking the title page and many leaves. Chelek Orach Chaim is known for its relative rarity when compared to the other parts, as many studied it and were constantly occupied with it, so copies of it were worn out.
This copy lacks only the title page and two leaves at the end.
A similar edition of Shulchan Aruch is known from 1578. Some parts of it are offered in this auction, but there is no Orach Chaim section known from the 1578 edition. This copy, as stated, lacks the title page and the colophon, was found with a note in ancient script, apparently written by an expert bibliographer, who writes that the sefer was printed in Venice in 1578. It remains to be clarified if this copy is indeed from 1578.
Among the first prints of the Shulchan Aruch. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Iyunim U'Mechkarim, no. 8.
2-299 leaf, 13.5 cm.
Moderate condition. Worming perforations. Detached leaves. Blemished antique leather binding.
