summary
Joseph Chayun (d. 1497) was the last Rabbi from Lisbon prior to the Expulsion of Portugal. See EJ, Vol. VII, col.1514 (facs. of title of Milei D’Avoth wrongly captioned "1606"). Y. Y. Cohen attests to the scarcity of this work in his bibliography of commentaries and translations of the Ethics of the Fathers. See Masecheth Avoth-Perusheiha Ve’Tagomotheiha Be’aspaklarith Ha’doroth, in: Kiryath Sepher Vol. 40 (1964-5), pp.104-17.
ff. 68. Closely shaved occasionally affecting headnotes, title remargined, stains. Modern vellum-backed boards. 8vo
