Tefilah L'Moshe Cracow! 1590. Rare! Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin. Unidentified Rabbinical Signatures.
Important work of Deroshos on the merits of Torah study, as well as a commentary on the Shema, by R. Moshe Almosnino. Extremely rare, this Sefer is quoted by the Ketzos HaChoshen in his introduction.
R. Moshe ben Baruch Almosnino (c. 1515-c. 1580), was born in Salonika and hailed from a distinguished Jewish family originally from the Spanish town of Aragon. He was renowned for his Torah scholarship as well as his knowledge in the sciences, particularly natural physics and astronomy. In 1565, he formed a delegation to petition the Sultan for a confirmation of the privileges previously granted to the Salonika Jews in 1537. His efforts procured a favorable decision and in 1568, the Salonika community was granted the status of a self-governing entity, a status it retained for centuries thereafter.
