summary
The magnum opus of this Sephardic rabbinic scholar, accepted by both Sephardic and Aschkenazic codifiers as an authoritive work of great practical value. Indeed, CHAIM JOSEPH DAVID AZULAI famously stipulated in his Shem Ha’gedolim, that no decision should be rendered without first consulting the Kenesath Ha’gedolah.
Benveniste cites and methodically analyzes all the determinations found in the responsa and halachic works of the outstanding authorites of the post-Karo era.
Variously worn. Modern uniform boards, Lg. 4to
