Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat, with Ba'er Hetev and Chidushei Dinim. Amsterdam, [1764. Printed by the sons of Shlomo Proops].
A booklet of leaves for writing novellae is attached to the beginning of the book containing novellae written by two different authors. Most of the leaves are written by Rabbi Avraham the Second, who signed Avraham Pinto many times throughout his novellae (Avraham Pinto HaKatan appears twice) and in his writings he mentions things in the name of his grandfather Rabbi Avraham Pinto (the senior) and their esteemed grandfather the Rif [Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto]. Three pages appear to be written in an earlier handwriting and are signed in one place "Avraham".
Throughout the book are more than one hundred long glosses in Oriental handwriting. Most written by Rabbi Avraham the senior, [some with the signature "Avraham"]. Some are written by Rabbi Avraham Pinto "HaKatan" (the junior). Some glosses are in a third handwriting, one (on leaf 74/a) is signed by Rabbi "Elazar Ebn L'Chazan". (In one gloss which looks like the handwriting of Rabbi Elazar Chazan, he mentions things in the name of his father-in-law: "… Rabbi Shlomo Asabag ruled"). Several glosses are written in another handwriting, one is signed "Ya'akov".
Signature of Rabbi "Masud Pinto" who bought the book from his brother Rabbi Ya'akov. At the beginning of the book is an ownership inscription of "The great Chacham Rabbi Moshe Pinto".
Rabbi Avraham Pinto the senior (died on Succot 1803), son of the Mekubal Rabbi Ya'akov Pinto the First [a member of a society of Mekubalim, authors of the series of holy books Mikdash Melech]. Served in the rabbinate of the city of Marrakesh together with Rabbi Elazar ben Rabbi Ya'akov Chazan and Rabbi David Tzabach [who succeeded him in the city rabbinate until 1858]. Rabbi David Tzabach and Rabbi Elazar Chazan were close disciples of Rabbi Shlomo Asabag who died in 1830.
His son Rabbi Moshe Pinto is apparently the father of Rabbi Ya'akov and Rabbi Masud Pinto who signed the book.
This is an important manuscript – never printed, written by prominent rabbis of the city of Marrakesh in Morocco in the 18th/19th century all renowned for their great holiness and scholarship in revealed and hidden Torah.
Missing copy: [1], 176 leaves (originally: [2], 405, [3] leaves). + booklet of 14 leaves, with approximately 11 pages including handwritten Torah novellae. Approximately 19.5 cm. Wide margins, fair condition, worn from usage, detached leaves and some spotting. Ancient and elaborate leather binding, worn and torn.
