Description
This unbound volume is among the earliest printed books produced in the Mediterranean region. Printed in Istanbul in 1493 by brothers David and Samuel Ibn Nahmias, the four volumes of this Hebrew-language treatise concern devotional, ritualistic, marital, and civil law. The Ibn Nahmias brothers arrived in Istanbul with their movable Hebrew type and other printing materials after Sultan Bayezid II offered shelter to Jewish refugees expelled from Spain in 1492.
