Kol Bo – Laws pertaining to all the days of the year, customs, interpretation on the Haggadah for Pesach, laws of Isur and Heiter [forbidden and permitted], monetary laws and more. [Italy, approximately 1490].
The Kol Bo book is a collection of Halachot, comparable and even similar in many aspects to the book Orchot Chaim by Rabbi Aharon from Lonil. The identity of the author is unknown as is the meaning of the similarity between the two compositions. As well, it is unknown which of them was composed first. Professor Shlomo Zalman Havlin declared that Kol Bo is an early edition of Orchot Chaim (the author first wrote Kol Bo and then changes were made to the book and it was named Orchot Chaim).
Printed in square letters with two columns on each leaf. The place and date of the publication are not mentioned in the book, there are no page headings or page markers. Nevertheless, the pamphlets and sheets are numbered. The index of the chapters is included at the beginning of the book.

Responsa by Rabbi Moshe Bar Nachman. Venice, [1519]. Collection of responsa by Rabbi Shlomo Ben Aderet [Rashba], mistakenly attributed to the Ramban. 288 responses.
In the introduction, on the other side of the title page, the proofreader writes: “So that the truth should not be hidden… I must inform… that the responses which are referred to are attributed to… Rabbi Moshe Bar Nachman. Indeed, many others have planted their sayings throughout the writing such as Rabbi Shlomo Ben Aderet and his associates who have absorbed his Torah knowledge…”.
The attribution of the book to the Ramban, was due to a commentary in chapter 284, in which it is specified that this is the response of the Ramban to Rabbeinu Yona, while the remainder of the responses are by Rabbi Shlomo Ben Aderet. (See the sayings of Rabbi Yosef Karo in the introduction to his book Beit Yosef: “I have come across a number of responses of Rabbi Shlomo Ben Aderet written in print with a metal pen and lead, and as a preface it is written that they are the responses of the Ramban”). Nowadays, it is customary to refer to them as Rabbi Shlomo Ben Aderet Responsum attributed to the Ramban.
[94] leaves, 24cm. Good-fair condition. Tears and moth damages professionally restored throughout all pages of the book. Title page worn and stained with remnants of ancient ownership inscriptions and various listings (erased). Modern leather binding.
