With a poem in praise of this work by Yehuda Aryeh (Leon de) Modena. ff. 8. Marginal repairs to opening and closing leaf with loss to couple of letters. Modern morocco. 16mo. Vinograd, Venice 807. Venice, Giovanni di Gara, 1595. The author learned his butchering trade in Cracow, studying under the tutelage of R. Tzvi Yaakov Buchtner, author of comprehensive notes to R. Ya’akov Weil’s Shechitoth U’Bedikoth. The author noticed that the work of Shechitah in many parts of Italy was performed by those who “are unaware of the difference between the various kosher and non-kosher parts of the hindquarters.” He also found this Shechitah problem to be rampant in Turkey, thus the trilingual nature of the present work by which the author hoped a superior standard of Kashruth would result.
