Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim with Chukei Chayim, with the Siddur (!). Berlin, 1700. Rare First Edition


The laws of Orach Chaim with the Chukei Chayim commentary and the laws of Yoreh Deah with the Chukei Da'at commentary, by the great and expert Rabbi Moshe Yekutiel, known as Kaufman Cohen, a son-in-law of the great gaon Rabbi Avraham Abele of Kalisch, author of Magen Avraham. Berlin, 1700. First edition. Two parts, with a dedicated title page for each part, and with the rare siddur (the siddur is incomplete).


Exceptional work with an alphabetic arrangement of the halachahs in Shulchan Aruch according to topic, and not according to the standard simanim arrangement. Alongside the words of the Shulchan Aruch is a commentary and sources, often from his father -in-law, the author of Magen Avraham, as well as Kabbalistic concepts. The author also arranged a huge chart for cross-referencing his sefer with Shulchan Aruch's simanim.


Many prayers appear among the leaves of the sefer, some Kabbalistic, and some authored by the author of the sefer. Kabbalistic prayer for livelihood (in the halachahs of Rosh Chodesh), a prayer composed by the Ta"z, a prayer by Kabbalist Rabbi Naftali Katz, and more. Additional prayers and segulahs printed on the last leaves of the sefer. With the menorah-shaped LaMenatze'ach psalm.


This copy also contains the 20-leaf rare siddur written in small unvowelized letters. Mifa'l HaBibliographiah notes that the siddur was apparently added to only some of the copies, and it is present in only one of the three copies in Jerusalem.


Present here are the complete Orach Chaim section and the complete Yoreh Deah section, with almost all of the leaves of the rare siddur.

[9] leaves are present from the introduction, and from the siddur: [4]-15, 18-20.

Chelek Orach Chaim: 159, [2], 160-190, [1] leaf.

Chelek Yoreh Deah: 35, [1], 35-72, [3], 79-85, 83-94 leaf.

Fine condition. Aging stains. One leaf is detached. Original leather binding, worn and blemished.
