The MaHaRY”K (c. 1420-1480) was the foremost Talmudic scholars during the second half of the 15th-century, his opinions on Halachic matters were sought from across Europe. This important collection of responsa had a seminal influence upon the development of the Halachah in Italy.
Isserlein’s most important works are his responsa which were issued in two volumes-Terumath Hadeshen and Pesakim Ukethavim (see lot 160). It is said that most of the queries in this volume were posed by the author himself as opposed to the Pesakim Ukethavim where he addresses many of his respondents by name.
