Anatomical plates relating to slaughter, inspecting and porging. This copy with additional plates unrecorded by bibliographers. Roest (p. 280) records only five plates; Friedberg (Z-46) only seven. On p. 7 we find mention of a father and son, R. Shabtai Morais and R. Samuel Morais. These were the grandfather and father of R. Sabato Morais (b. Livorno, 1823-d. Philadelphia, 1897), who went on to serve as Hazan of Cong. Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia (from 1851 until his death) and whom, along with others, founded the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York (1886). See JE, Vol. VIII, pp. 679-80.
