Livorno: Antonio Santini 1757
Est: $400 - $600
PRICE REALIZED $600
The Chida’s first published work. Although he was 34 when this work was published it was actually written when the author was just 17 years old. According to Meir Benayahu (Rabbi H.Y.D. Azulai (1959) p. 186), the Sha’ar Yoseph was scarce even during the author’s life-time. Both the lengthy approbation by the Chida’s father, as well as the introduction, contain valuable biographical details.
