Levush HaButz V'HaArgaman. First Edition, Cracow 1599. Very Rare! - Sefer Levush HaButz V'HaArgaman. First Edition, Cracow 1599. At the press of Yitzchak son of Aaron Prostitz. This First Edition is Exceedingly Rare! Apparently a complete copy has never been offered at public auction. 126 Leaves. 28.7 Cm Rabbi Mordechai Jaffe (c.1535-1612), a native of Prague, studied in his youth in Poland under the greatest scholars of the day, R. Solomon Luria (Maharsha”l) and R. Moses Isserles (Ram”a). In subsequent years, he would sojourn in Italy and once again in Poland, before finally returning to his native Prague in 1592, at which time he succeeded the famed R. Judah Löw (Mahara”l) as Av Beth Din. The Levush remains to this day one of the mainstays of the Halacha - especially the Aschkenazic tradition.
