summary

A Halachic work issued as a “midway between two extremes: the lengthy Beith Yoseph of Karo on the one hand, and the Shulchan Aruch with Isserles’ Mapah, which was too brief, on the other.” EJ, IX cols. 1263-4.

Stained in places. Bound in Valmadonna-custom full mahogany calf, spine titled in gilt. Tall folio.
