An apparantly unrecorded edition of an extremely rare compendium in Spanish of laws of ritual slaughter. Roth (B11,14), Kayserling (p.70) and the British Museum Catalogue (vol.V, p.88) all note a 1733 edition with a differing title and pagination.
This is the only known work of Aaron Mendoza, an Anglo-Sephardi engraver and father of the English boxing champion, Daniel Mendoza. See A.M. Hyamson, The Sephardim of England (1951) p.115; A. Rosenthal (Book-Dealer), Catalogue XI - Anglo-Judaica (1948) no.681.
