CHUPAS CHASANIM. FIRST EDITION. LIVORNO 1797
Fundamental Sefer on the laws and customs of marriage, by R. Refoel Meldola. It was received to great acclaim and for generations this Sefer has served as an essential handbook for both scholars and layman.
R. Refoel Meldola (1754 –1828) was born in Livorno into a rabbinical family. He received Semicha from the Chida. In 1805 he elected Haham of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews of Great Britain where he served with distinction until his passing.
He is buried in London and in recent years many visit his Kever. There are numerous stories of people who visited his Kever and recited the prayer printed at the beginning of the Chupas Chasanim for a Shidduch and shortly thereafter found shidduchim.
Vinograd Livorno 424. [19], [1], 88, 88-111 pages. 13.5 cm. Overall fine condition. Some wear and staining. Trimmed margins affecting some of the borders. Antique leather binding (worn).
