Amudei Golah - Sma"k. First Edition. Post-Incunabula
Sefer Amudei Golah, known as Sefer Mitzvot HaKatzar, on mitzvahs performed during that era, by Rabbi Yitzchak of Corbeil - one of the Ba'alei HaTosafot. Constantinople, c. 1510. Rare first edition. Post-incunabula. Incomplete copy.
First edition of the fundamental sefer by one of the most prominent Rishonim.
Rabbi Moshe of Coucy authored the renowned work Sefer HaMitzvot (Sma"g). A couple of decades after the Sma"g was written, Rabbi Yitzchak of Corbeil, also one of the Ba'alei HaTosafot and a son-in-law of Rabbi Yechiel of Paris, compiled from the Sma"g the mitzvahs that were performed at the time, and he omitted Land-of-Israel-dependant mitzvahs, hence his entitling the sefer Sefer Amudei HaGolah, or by its more common name, Sefer Mitzvot Katzar - Sma"k, in contrast to the Sefer Mitzvot Gadol authored by Rabbi Moshe of Coucy, which became known as Sma"g. The author divided his sefer into seven parts - seven "pillars, " so that one "pillar" would be studied each day of the week.
Stefansky, Sifrei Yessod 245; Ya'ari, Kushta 36; Ginzei Yisrael-Osef Mehlman, 735.
The vast majority of the sefer appears here, in successive leaves.
126 of 146 leaves (there are those who write 148, but apparently 146 is correct, and this is also what appears in the copy in Otzar Chochmah with the pagination).
Lacking 19 leaves at the beginning, and one leaf at the end.
Details:
This copy starts with leaf [21], the middle of Mitzvah 31, tzitzit, and continues through the end of the sefer, leaf [146].
Lacking one leaf [98], kuntress כה4. One leaf is added near the beginning of the sefer, at the end of the simanim of the mitzvahs and the beginning of the elucidations of the mitzvahs, leaf [11]. (Precise details will be sent upon request.)
Signature and gloss (refer to the photocopy).
Fine condition. Relatively few aging stains. Individual leaves are cropped far from the text. Tape for reinforcement in the margins of individual leaves. Simple binding.
