A complete copy of the Venice edition of Sefer Toldos Adam V’Chava, authored by Rabbeinu Yerucham. Venice 1553. Also bound with Sefer Meisharim, which is essentially the same Halachik commentary, but on monetary matters. Toldos Adam V’Chavah however deals with day-to-day Halachik issues which arise from the moment a person is born until the day he dies. Hence its name Adam, and Chava for the woman.

The Chida writes in his sefer Shem HaGedolim about an extraordinary account passed down to him from the elders of Jerusalem — that this sefer is considered a hidden mystical work belonging to the hidden realm of “Alma DeIskasya” - (“World of Concealment”); see there. Likewise, the Maggid of the Beis Yosef refers to Rabbi Yerucham as ”Yerucham Tamiri”, meaning ”the concealed one” (see Maggid Meisharim, Parshas Vayakhel).
