/RaMBa”N). Hasagoth shel ha-Ramban she-Hisig al Rabeinu Moshe bar Maimon be-Minyan ha-Mitzvoth [Nachmanides’ Glosses to Maimonides’ Book of Precepts]

Rare First Edition of Nachmanides’ Glosses. The first of Nachmanides’ halachic works to appear in print. Here, Nachmanides subjected Maimonides’ Book of Precepts (see previous lot) to a thorough critique. Besides animadversions to Maimonides’ fourteen Shorashim, Nachmanides provides those commandments - both positive and negative - which he believes Maimonides wrongly overlooked. In his Hasagoth, Nachmanides ofttimes rises to the defense of the anonymous author of Halachoth Gedoloth, whose earlier system Maimonides found to be deficient.
