Pri Chadash on Orach Chaim and Even HaEzer - Amsterdam, 1706 - First Edition - Signature of Rabbi Yehuda Mendola, an Italian Rabbi, Disciple-Colleague of the Ramchal
Pri Chadash, halachic novellae on Orach Chaim and Even HaEzer, and commentaries on parts of Sefer HaMada by the Rambam, by R. Chizkiyah da Silva. Amsterdam, [1706]. First edition.
The book aroused a great controversy, since the author didn't hesitate to use sharp language when disagreeing with the Beit Yosef and other leading Acharonim. The book was banned by the rabbis of Egypt, yet on the other hand endorsed by other prominent rabbis.
Signature on the title page of R. Yehuda Mendola (d. 1752), rabbi in Padua, Rovigo and Mantua in the first half of the 18th century. Disciple-colleague of the Ramchal and one of his supporters.
Stamp of R. Yaakov Landau Rabbi of Bnei Brak.
[4], 74; 19, [1], 9 leaves. Including leaf following title page (dedication in Portuguese in honor of Jacob Pereira), not present in all copies. 30 cm. Fair condition. Stains. Extensive worming affecting text (several leaves with significant damage). Handwritten inscriptions on title page. Binding damaged and detached, with significant worming.
