Manuscript. Responsa in the hand of Rabbi Aharon HaKohen Perachya, author of the Parach Mateh Aharon. Salonica, 17th century.

Practical halachic response in the hand of noted sage Rabbi Aharon Perachya Hakohen av”d Salonica, author of the famed Shu”t Parach Mateh Aharon, prominent Sephardic sage.

The response was printed in his Parach Mateh Aharon, section one, (Amsterdam, 1702), siman 109. This response is not signed and was apparently included in the author’s ledger of responsa.

Rabbi Aharon HaKohen Perachya, the author of Parach Mateh Aharon (1626-1696) and prominent Salonica rabbi was “rich in Torah and greatness, looked like a heavenly angel, and his vast Torah expertise is apparent in his responsa ”( Shem HaGedolim L’Chida). The leading Achronim praised him extensively. Rabbi Chaim Elfandri wrote in his Mutzal Me’eish that, “He’s the greatest “Achron, ” but first in prominence.” Rabbi Akiva Eiger wrote, “One of the leading achronim of achronim.” (Quoted in the comments in Machon HaMeor’s Shem HaGedolim.)
