Rare Early Constantinople Imprint. Nachmanides was one of the foremost Talmudic scholars of the Middle Ages. His influential works on Halacha, Bible and a myriad of other subjects have been assiduously studied for centuries. In addition to his Halachic novellae on Talmudic tractates, he composed Halachic monographs considered masterpieces of Rabbinic literature. The present work, Dina DeGarmei, is an exposition of laws pertaining to personal injuries and property damage. This compact yet excellent study has been highly praised and generated a great many super-commentaries. See Y. S. Steiner, Shoshanath Ya’akov (Przemysl, 1882).
