summary

The Chida's reponsa reflect widely divergent Halachic problems encountered during his travels in various countries as an emissary from Eretz Israel. See E. Toaff, Guardians of Our Heritage (1958) p.162. The final leaves of Vol. II contain responsa from an unpublished manuscript by R. Yoseph Kurkus, a reknowned scholar cited many times by Joseph Karo in his Keseph Mishna

Vol. I: ff. 120 (the complete text of the responsa, but lacks the 64 page addendum to Birchei Yoseph, Shiyurei Brachah as described by Benayahu). * Vol. II: ff. 1, 76, 36. Later boards, spine rubbed. Folio
