Babylonian Talmud, Tractates Me'ila, Kinyan, Tamid, Midot, Kritut, Temura and Erchin. Amsterdam, 1647. Printed by Emanuel Benbenishti.
Three signatures in Oriental handwriting appear on the title page of Tractate Kritut: "Purchased by Nehorai ben Yitzchak Jermon". Signatures of his son Rabbi "Pinchas Jermon". Short and long handwritten glosses. Various inscriptions on the binding leaves.
Rabbi Nehorai Jermon (died on Passover eve, 16th of Nissan 1783), a leading Tunisian sage of his times, disciple of Rabbi Yitzchak Lombrozo, author of "Zera Yitzchak". The Chida writes of him in his book "Shem Gedolim": "He was an outstanding wise elderly sage, a rabbi in Tunis who wrote many novellae. All his dear possessions including his writings were plundered, thereafter he rewrote his novellae and named the book "Yeter HaBaz" printed here in Livorno". Rabbi Chaim Falagi quotes him in his book Einei Kol Chai and writes about his writings "This is Torah Lishma… for its words are true".
Rabbi Nehorai Jermon's remaining novellae are very important since most of his manuscripts were plundered during the Great War in 1756 when Algerian Rebel Tribes attacked the city of Tunis, as he laments in his introduction to his book Yeter HaBaz (Livorno 1787) named after the looting and plundering of his lost writings, expressing his deep pain.
