First edition of this fourth book of responsa by Joseph Ben David Ibn Lev.Joseph Ibn Lev (1505-1580) was a Turkish Rabbi who moved to Constantinople in 1550. He reacted against Pope Paul IV due to his cruelty against the Jews. He is called "The Great Jurist" and is known to have written the four books of Responsa, which were highly thought of. This is the fourth of the four books of Responsa that he wrote. The three first were printed in Constantinople around 1560-1573, and this fourth was printed in Venice in 1606. Other editions appeared later on, but every one of these four books in the first edition rare and only few copies are registered.
