summary

Ibn Shuaib was a disciple of SOLOMON ibn ADRET, (RaSHB”A) and teacher of R. Menachem ibn Zerach, the author of Tzeidah La’derech. The many epigrams in this work give it a special charm. In his sermons, he urges for the return to observance of neglected precepts and the need for recourse to Jewish Courts of Law. This edition is rather uncommon and was republished in a facsimile with a scholarly introduction by Professor S. Abramson (1969)

ff. 94 (of 96). Lacking ff. 93-4. Lightly browned and stained in places, gently damp-wrinkled. Recent boards. Folio
