summary

A Deluxe Copy with Remarkably Wide-Margins. Isaac of Duran (second half of 13th century) was a preeminent German halachic authority. His Sha'arei Dura is codified upon the traditions of both Germany and France and became the basis for halacha these parts. The extensive commentary Mevo Shearim includes the customs of Poland and Russia. On R. Nathan ben Shimshon Shapiro (the grandfather of his more famous namesake, the author of Megaleh Amukoth) and his commentary Mevo She'arim, see the comprehensive monograph by E. Katzman, Toldoth HaMegaleh Amukoth in Yeshurun, Vol. 13 pp. 617-700 and Vol. 14 pp. 935-64)
