Second edition of this compendium of Jewish law, composed in honor of Don Samuel Abravanel of Seville. It was intended principally for the use of persons in the upper social classes, many of whom occupied positions in government, and found it inconvenient to observe all the legal and ritual regulations, or lacked the time to refer to the halakhic sources. First published at Ferrara in 1554, and arranged in five articles (Heb. = ma'amarot), "[t]he work has an added importance on account of the introduction, which contains valuable historical material, including important details of the method of study in the yeshivot of France and Germany, as well as contemporary incidents in the history of the Jews in Spain. [Menahem] writes reprovingly of those Jews who, because of the demands of the times, began to disregard the observance of the precepts. Although he shows great erudition in his knowledge of the Talmud and codes and was acquainted with the teachings of the earlier Spanish, French, and German scholars, he relies mainly for his halakhic rulings on those of Asher b. Jehiel" (EJ). This preference likely reflects the influence of Asher's son, Judah, who was one of Menahem's principal teachers at the yeshiva in Toledo. Among the very last Hebrew works published at Sabbioneta, the title highlights the approval of Vespasiono Gonzaga, the reigning prince. Previously, in 1553, "the proprietors of this press attempted the hazardous work of republishing the Talmud, and one Treatise saw the light; but the papal decree of that year made the further publication of the Talmud in Italy an impossibility. The end of this press came in the year 1559 due as De Rossi intimates to anti-Christian statements in some of their publications, which finally brought down upon them the wrath of the church" (Amram). When Vincenzo Conti briefly re-established the press at Sabbioneta, to print the present work and two or three others, he would have been keen to indicate his obedience to the temporal and ecclesiastical authorities. The verso of the last numbered leaf and the following unnumbered leaf (both are broadsheets) comprise a calendar, or almanac, entitled "Be?ur ha-lu?ot" for the years 5025-6000. The first part is designated "Ha-Lua? ha-Rishon" and the second "Ha-Lua? ha-Sheni." Many copies appear to lack one or both of the broadsheets. Annotations: Old Hebrew entries in two hands at the margins of the title-page; some scattered marginal notes in Hebrew.
