Gedolei Terumah. Fundamental Adjudicative Work. Venice, 1643. First Edition
Sefer Gedolei Terumah - commentary on Sefer HaTerumot [with the text] by Rabbi Azaryah Fijo. Foundational book of financial halachah and law. Venice, 1643. First edition. Printed in the author's lifetime. Pedigree copy.
Sefer Gedolei Terumah on Sefer HaTerumot was accepted as the primary commentary on Sefer HaTerumot - "and it is its commander and faithful home attendant" in the [Hebrew] words of Mana"ch (Shu"t Shtei HaLechem siman 3). The gaon Rabbi Ephraim Zalman Margaliot of Brody, author of Beit Ephraim, writes in his approbation to the Zolkiew edition of Sefer HaTerumot that he heard from his ancestors about the amounts of money spent by the Sha"ch so that he would receive Sefer Gedolei Terumah, and the Sha"ch mentions him often in Choshen Mishpat.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Azaryah Figo.
