summary

Although this collection of responsa is ascribed to Nachmanides, careful perusal has determined that with the exception of five or six responsa, the entire collection is indeed by the Rashb”a. The number of his responsa, including this pseudo-Nachmanides collection, reaches well over three thousand, with inquiries addressed from all parts of the world, and touching upon all phases of law - religious, family and civil, as well as theological concerns. See M. Waxman, History of Jewish Literature (1933) Vol. II pp.165-167
ff. (95). Verso of title with small area of worming neatly taped, marginal circular stain along following few leaves, touch discolored. Modern morocco. Small folio.
