Early Commentary on Tur Orach Chayim. Ashkenaz, 16th Century


Short commentary on Tur Orach Chayim simanim 45-130. Askenazic manuscript from the 16th century. The style of the writing matches that of the mid-16th-early-17th century.

Written at the top of the final page: "Compilations of commentaries on Tur Orach Chayim."


Commentaries mentioned only once are: Peirush Mahar"a [Rabbi Avraham of Prague], printed in Augsburg 1640 and Maharara"n, who is Rabbi Nathan Shapira, author of Mevoh She'arim al Sha'arei Dura, who passed away in 1678. His commentary on the Tur was published for the first time in our days in the Tur published by El HaMekorot. He refers to the Beit Yosef as "HaKara" - as he was generally referred to in his generation and the following generation.
