summary

The author Abraham Vaez was Haham of the Spanish-Portuguese Congregation Nephusot Yehudah of Bayonne, France. This handy presentation of Jewish laws in the Spanish language would, one imagines, have been welcomed by a community intent on seeking to reacquaint itself to practicing traditional Judaism, but not having the tools to study the Shulchan Aruch and similar such Hebrew texts

pp.1-88, 83-183, (1 blank), 185-204 (i.e., 214), (4). Mispaginated as issued but complete. Title repaired, trimmed and browned. Contemporary limp vellum, worn. 8vo
