Exceptionally Rare Early Constantinople Imprint. Of Portuguese origin, the author escaped to Naples, however when the French conquered the city, they deprived Ibn Yachya of all his possessions and exiled him to Corfu. He eventually settled in Constantinople where many of his works were published. See EJ, Vol. VIII col. 1207-8.
