summary

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

pp.1-88, 83-183, (1 blank), 185-204 (i.e., 214), (4). Mispaginated as issued but complete. Some staining, few leaves frayed. Contemporary limp vellum, heavily worn. 8vo.
