<<(RaShB”A).>> Chidushei Masecheth Chulin [novellae to Talmud Tractate].

“El Rab d`España” R. Solomon ibn Adret (c.1235-c.1310) of Barcelona, Catalonia, was a disciple of the cousins Nachmanides and R. Jonah of Gerona. Following the departure of Nachmanides for the Land of Israel in the year 1267, ibn Adret became the undisputed leader of Spanish Jewry. Soon after printing his extensive Babylonian Talmud, Daniel Bomberg turned his attention to the Talmudic commentaries. He printed the Chidushim, or novellae of RaShB’A to Tractates Berachoth, Gitin and Chulin, along with his teacher Nachmanides’ novellae to Bava Bathra in the same year (see lot 375). These would remain the only Chidushim from the school of Nachmanides to be published for the next two centuries.
