Classics. Teshuvos Ha'Gaonim. Prague 1590. Magnificent Copy!
Collection of four hundred halachic responsa from the era of the Gaonim. The Gaonic era spans from circa 590 after the period of the Sevora’im, and ends in circa 1040. There were two major Gaonic Yeshivos, one in Sura and the other in Pumpedeisa. As the leading Torah Scholars of the era, the Gaonim received Halachic queries from far and wide to which they responded in writing. These are generally considered to be the earliest extant Halachic responsa.
Illustrated title page with various unusual depictions.
Vinograd Prague 65. Katz press. 46 pages. 22 cm. Overall excellent condition. Small hole in title page not affecting text and some minor repairs. Modern worn, leather spine.
Opening bid $500
