CLASSICS. Shu”t Binyomin Ze’ev. First Edition. Venice 1539. First Halachic Responsa by an Achron.
Classic work of responsa by R. Binyomin Ze’ev Artah. This is considered by bibliographers to be the first sefer of responsa by an Achron. Includes introductory and closing songs, as well as a eulogy given by the author upon the passing of his son. Like many copies this one includes a long gloss of correction on page 456b possibly in the handwriting of the author.
R. Binyomin Ze’ev of Artah (c. 1475-1545), was born in Greece and studied under the local Talmidei Chachomim, his uncle R. Kalev, R. Binyomin B”R Shmaryahu and R. Shlomo B”R Shmuel HaSfardi, who eventually became his father-in-law. Renowned as a prominent Posek, his halachic responsa are quoted and discussed extensively by the Rema, MaHaRaM Padwa and the MaHaRSHaL among others, with many deeming some of his Halachic decisions to be lenient.
Stefansky Hebrew Classics page 84. Vinograd Venice 167. Bomberg press. 575 pages. 21.5 cm. Very fine condition. First few and last few pages with some restorations, slightly affecting some text. Censors markings. Magnificent leather binding.
