AZULAI, CHAIM YOSEPH DAVID.
(ChID”A). Sha’ar Yoseph [commentary to Talmudic Tractate Horayoth; final 40 leaves with responsa]



FIRST EDITION. With dedications in Spanish and Portuguese
pp. 16, ff. 120, 40. Some staining, slight marginal worming not affecting text, previous owners’ stamps and signatures. Later boards, spine worn, boards loose. Folio. Vinograd, Livorno 72.
Livorno: Antonio Santini 1757
The Chida’s first published work. Although he was 34 when this work was published it was actually written when the author was just 17 years old. According to Meir Benayahu (Rabbi H.Y.D. Azulai (1959) p. 186), the Sha’ar Yoseph was scarce even during the author’s life-time. Both the lengthy approbation by the Chida’s father, as well as the introduction, contain valuable biographical details.
