Important collection of 430 responsa. The author (1510-1584?), Rabbi of the Lisbon Jewish congregation in Salonika, was a disciple of R. Joseph Taitatzak and a colleague of R. Samuel de Medina, author Shailoth UTeshuvoth MaHaRaSHDa”M. Adarbi many times takes exception to the latter’s rulings. See EJ, Vol. II col. 254.
