Item Details
Description
Sefer HaGedarim, by Rabbi Menachem ben Avraham, called Bonafus Avraham HaParfaneini [Parfinian]. Thessaloniki, 1567. [Printed by Shlomo and Yosef Ya'avetz]. First edition.
The book is also called Michlal Yofi. An encyclopedic alphabetical composition on philosophy and medicine, ethics and various wisdoms. Attached at the end of the book are "Pirkei HaHatzlacha (Chapters of success), by the Rambam". This is the first printing of those chapters.
On the title page, the printers of the Ya'avetz family mention their activities in printing the Talmud: "G-d in his mercy let us live to merit the completion of the printing of the whole Talmud…" (Very few tractates survived from this printing, and it is uncertain if they were indeed successful in completing the printing of the whole Talmud).
[50] leaves. 20 cm. Fair condition. Title page partially missing, professionally restored. Tears and damages [with damage to text in a few places] professionally restored. Restored leaf edges. Spotting. Few worm marks. New leather binding, with gilded impression.
