summary

An encyclopedic work discussing all aspects of Rabbinic literature pertaining to Eretz Israel. The author, better known by his acronym “Devash,” was the Rosh Beth Din of the Moroccan community of Jerusalem. The notes of a previous owner of this volume, one Shlomo Zalman Moses, calls the author a “holy mekubal” and signs reverentially with his mother’s name. He also offers here criticism of the popoular works by Joseph Schwarz.
