In Jewish religious law Get Mekushar is a special document for Cohanim (Jewish High Priests) seeking to get a divorce from their wives (literally translates as 'tied-up divorce decree'). The ruling regarding this special divorce proceeding was ruled in a place where many Cohanim lived in ancient times. Being naturally more observant these High Priests would often find themselves in a situation when in the heat of an argument they would throw their wives out of the house and ask for a quick divorce, and later would cool down and change their minds but were unable to remarry the wife as it is forbidden for a Cohen to marry a divorcee, even their own ex-wife. Therefore, this document was invented, the production of which takes an extremely long time: every time one line of the document is written it must be folded and sewn before the next line is written, folded and sewn, and so on. This procedure would allow enough time for the hot-headed priest to come to his senses before the procedure was completed. Rabbi Refael Moshe ben Yosef Buleh (?-1773) was one of the Chachmey Yerushalaim (the Wise Men of Jerusalem) and served as the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of the Land of Israel (HaRishon LeZion) for a period of time. He was born in Thessaloniki and served as the Rabbi of Ancona, Italy, for some time, before travelling to the Holy Land and settling in Jerusalem. He would travel to Constantinople on fund-raising trips and in 1767 printed the offered book there. This publication brought him fame among the Mediterranean as well as European Jewish communities.

The first book by Rabbi Refael Moshe Buleh: teachings on the books of Genesis and Exodus. Rabbi Refael Moshe ben Yosef Buleh (?-1773) was one of Chachmey Yerushalaim (the Wise Men or scholars of Jerusalem) and served as the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of the Land of Israel (HaRishon LeZion). He was born in Thessaloniki and served as the Rabbi of Ancona, Italy, before travelling to the Holy Land and settling in Jerusalem. He travelled to Constantinople on fund-raising trips and in 1752 this was his first book to be printed there. In the Preface Buleh mentions that there had been an increase in people who made Aliyah (the ascent) to Jerusalem at that time, and the matter was unsettling for the local Arab population. The book was published by Reuven and Nissim, sons of the printer Yona ben Yaakov Ashkenazi, who ran his Hebrew printing house for 36 years following their father's death. More on the history of Ashkenazi's print house can be found in Yaari's 'Hebrew Printing at Constantinople' (1967). First edition; small folio (29 x 20.2 cm), modern half-calf, red morocco label to spine with gilt English title & ornaments; some dampstaining, browning, & foxing, with restoration to some leaves, a few small marginal tears; old ink inscriptions to title & some pages; [3], 109 ll.
