Shulchan Aruch with Likutei R. Gur Aryeh HaLevi. Complete set, four parts. Mantua: Isaac Yareh and Jacob Haver Tov, [1721-1723]. Proofread by the rabbis of Italy, R. Avraham Yedidia son of R. Shimshon Basilea, R. Refael Chaim d'Italia the physician and R. Aviad Sar Shalom Basilea (brother of the first), with their annotations.
Variant. Orach Chaim features the rare title page with the supposed portraits of Rashi, Rambam, Maharil, Maharik, the Rema and R. Gur Aryeh. Reputedly, following the opposition which arose in Mantua against the attempt to depict great rabbis, the rabbis of Mantua commanded to destroy the original title page and replace it with a title page without portraits. This copy includes the original title page.
Signatures on the three title pages: "A.ChY.M." - R. Avraham Chai Mussafia (Otzar HaRabbanim 1056), Torah scholar of Turkey and Jerusalem in the 19th century. He was the son of R. Chaim Yitzchak Rabbi of Spalatro (Split), who would also sign "A.Ch.Y.M." - Amar Chaim Yitzchak Mussafia). He authored Tehilla LeDavid on Tehillim (Livorno 1867) and his novellae were also published in his father's book Chaim VeChessed (Livorno 1844).
