(RaSHB”A). Teshuvoth Shailoth Le-RaMBa”N [responsa]

Although this collection of responsa is ascribed to Nachmanides, careful perusal has determined that with the exception of five or six responsa, the entire collection is by the Rashb”a. As a respondent, he answers inquiries directly, without unneccessary lengthy scholastic discussion. The number of his responsa, including this pseudo-Nachmanides collection, reaches well over three thousand, with inquiries addressed from all parts of the world, and touching upon all phases of law - religious, family and civil, as well as theological concerns. See M. Waxman, History of Jewish Literature (1933) Vol. II pp.165-167. Although an apparently earlier, undated, edition of diferent responsa of the Rashb”a was published in Rome, this is the first edition of these responsa attributed to the Ramba”n.
