Full set of the Tur, with Bayit Chadash. Choshen Mishpat also includes Beit Yisrael (Prisha V'Drisha). Frankfurt am Main, 1712-1715. First edition of Prisha V'Drisha on Choshen Mishpat. Approbation by Rabbi Shmuel Shatin – the Maharshashach.
On all title pages appear signatures of Rabbi "Yuzpa Cohen" and signatures of "Shlomo M'Dubno".
Rabbi Shlomo of Dubno (1739-1813), disciple of Rabbi Shlomo of Chelm, author of Mirkavat HaMishna, published many books, both his own and books written by others. Famous for knowledge of the wisdom of scriptures, mesorah and Hebrew grammar. During the time he stayed in Vilna, the Vilna Gaon asked him to investigate the masoret of Nevi'im and Ketuvim (petuchot, setumot chaserot and yeterot) – see testimony of Rabbi Pesach Pinfer of Vilna (in his article in Beit Va'ad LaChachamim, 1902 and in his book Masoret HaTorah V'Hanevi'im, Vilna 1906). He was one of the editors of the "commentary" by Moshe Mendelssohn on Bereshit, but when he realized Mendelssohn's reform intentions, he left him and published Chumashim on his own. He received approbations for publishing these Chumashim from the leading Torah scholars of his times (Rabbi Shmuel Rabbi of Vilna; Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, Rabbi Zelmele of Volozhin, disciples of the Vilna Gaon; Torah leaders of Vilna, Shklov and Slotzk, the Kloiz in Brod; rabbis of Lvov, Berlin, Frankfurt etc. (The notebook of signatures was publicized by Rabbi Kamenetsky in Yeshurun 8-10, ibid).
Possibly, the signature "Yuzpa Cohen" belongs to Rabbi Yuzpa Cohen, disciple of Chacham Zvi and Rabbi David Oppenheim, whose responsa was printed in Nishal David responsa, Yoreh De'ah Siman 2. [Other Torah scholars in those generations were called Yuzpa Cohen as well, and we have no definite identification].
5 volumes, 32-33 cm. Good to fair condition, stains, wear and moth damage. On one title page, the signatures are hidden under paper pasting. Ancient parchment bindings, varying conditions. Orach Chaim is lacking back cover.
