summary

R. Nissim ben Reuben Gerondi (1310? -1375?) acted in an unofficial capacity as rabbi and Dayan in Barcelona. This edition combined the responsa of the first Rome edition along with those cited in Teshuvoth HaRivash (Constantinople 1546-7). Reflecting the social-history of the period, these responsa particularly focus upon the economic difficulties of the Jewish community of Barcelona during the second half of the 14th-century.

ff. (80). Modern boards. Sm. 4to.
