summary
Exceptional Copy of Two Important Rabbinic Classics Bound in One Volume.
Sepher HaTerumah with signature of R. Shemayah de Medina (d. 1650) - a native of Salonika, achieved fame as a Rabbi of Venice. His father Moses (d.1608) was the son of the Halachic respondent R. Samuel de Medina (1506-1589), author She'eloth UTeshuvoth MaHaRaShDaM, one of the great Rabbis of Salonika. R. Shemayah published his grand-father's collected sermons Ben Shmuel (Mantua, 1622). Clearly, Shemaya's son was named "Samuel" after Shemaya's grandfather R. Samuel de Medina of Salonika. See EJ, Vol. XI, col. 1214; S.
