summary

R. Solomon ibn Adret (c.1235-c.1310) of Barcelona, Catalonia, was a disciple of the cousins R. Jonah and R. Moses Nachmanides of Gerona. After the departure of Nachmanides for the Land of Israel in the year 1267, Adret became the undisputed leader and spokesman of Spanish Jewry. His Chidushim, or Talmudic novellae to Tractates Berachoth, Gitin and Chulin, along with his teacher Nachmanides’ novellae to Bava Bathra (see lot 243), issued by Bomberg in the same year, remained the only Chidushim from the school of Nachmanides to be published for roughly the next two centuries.
