GUR ARYEH HALEVI ON THE SHULCHAN ARUCH. MAGNIFICENT COMPLETE SET. WITH THE RARE CONTROVERSIAL TITLE PAGE OF ILLUSTRATIONS. MANTUA 1721-1723
Shulchan Aruch, all four parts in two volumes, with the commentary of R. Yoseph Ben Ephraim Gur Aryeh Ha’Levi.
R. Yoseph Ben Ephraim Gur Aryeh was a renowned Talmid Chochom in Matua, where he was appointed Dayan in 1665. He corresponded regularly with R. Shmuel Abuhav and many of the responsa in the Dvar Shmuel are written to him. He also corresponded with R. Moshe Zacuto (Ra’MaZ). In addition to being a famous Posek, he was a great Kabbalist, as the CHIDA in Shem HaGedolim states, that R. Gur Aryeh was able to hear the ‘Angel’ (Maggid) who taught Torah to the Ra’MaZ.
Variant Edition. This volume of Orach Chaim has the rare original title page with supposed depictions of Rashi, the RaMBaM, the MaHaRIL, the Ma’HarIK, the ReMA, and R. Gur Aryeh himself. Reputedly, the Rabbonim of Mantua ordered the destruction of the original title page, following a dispute concerning the attempt to create portraits of these great luminaries. The copy presented here has the original title page.
Vinograd Mantua 315. Isaac Chaver Tov press. [2], 288; 268, [1] pages. 24.5 cm. Excellent condition. Some staining. Original leather bindings (slightly worn).
