"And the wonder of our generation Or HaChayi"m [the Chid"a] did not budge from his fatherly affection for him ... (Rabbi Matityahu Nissim Tirani, about Rabbi Moshe Chaim Suskino)
Sefer Halachot Ketanot - responsa by the great gaon Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael Chagiz, one of Jerusalem's leading rabbis and son-in-law of the first Rishon LeTziyon, the Mage"n, as well as one of the leaders of the battle against Shabbetai Tzvi when the latter was at the height of his influence. Venice, Bragadin Press, 1604. Five handwritten glosses in Rabbi Moshe Chaim Suskino's penmanship appear among the leaves of the sefer, two of which are signed "מחס"י."
Important and lengthy foreword from the author's son, the publisher, Rabbi Moshe Chagiz - HaMeni"ach, with historic information. Kuntress L'Gittin is printed at the end of the sefer with a foreword and comments by Rabbi Moshe Chagiz - HaMeni"ach. The sefer was also proofread by Rabbi Meshulam Zalman Pinkerly, who proofread Korban Chagigah as well, also published by Rabbi Moshe. Some of his responsa were printed in Shu"t Dvar Shmuel by Mahara"sh Abuhav and in Shu"t HaRaba"ch.
The sefer is adorned by approbations from gedolei hador Rabbi Moshe Kushta, Rabbi Shmuel di Fez, Rabbi Immanuel Francis, Rabbi David Oppenheim, Rabbi Chananyah Kuzis and Venice rabbis.
