JACOB BEN ASHER (Cologne? c. 1269-Toledo c. 1340). Tur Yoreh De'ah (Teacher of Knowledge). Hijar: Eliezer ben Abraham Alantasi, 1487.
Chancery 2o (280 x 189 mm). Collation: [1-410 58 610 7-168]. 101 leaves (of 137, lacking first and last blanks and leaves 2, 7-10, 17, 48, 51, 53-55, 72, 90, 115-118 and 120-137). Unfoliated, signed on rectos of first leaf of each bifolium, signed 2-41, 41-68, fols. 78 and 83 both signed '41'. Single column, 34 lines. Types: 2:117 H (semi-cursive) for text and signatures, 1:230 H (square) for titles, initial words, and chapter numbering. (First 4 leaves badly damaged and crudely repaired, with substantial loss of text, last leaf repaired with some loss of text at lower inner margins, repairs to upper margins throughout occasionally touching text, worming, dampstaining). Early 20th-century half morocco.
Provenance: Adolf Buehler (1867-1939), historian and theologian, Principal of Jews' College from 1905 until his death; gift to Jews' College Library in 1948 in memory of Mrs. Dorothy Peizer and Julius Alexander.
Part II (though the second printed) of the most important work of Jacob ben Asher, the codification of Jewish ritual Arba'ah Turim (Four Columns). Each of the four parts is a separate work devoted to one aspect of law and ritual; this arrangement became classic. The work, which was first published in its entirety in 1475 (Piove di Sacco), remained the standard halakhic code for both Sephardic and Ashkenazic rabbis until the publication of Joseph ben Ephraim Karo's Shulhan Arukh in 1565. This second part relates to laws concerning things permitted or forbidden, and contains chapters on dietary laws, usury, idolatry and mourning.
The present edition was probably the third of five known books printed between 1485 and 1490 in the small Aragonese town of Hijar by the first and only Jewish printer there, the physician Eliezer ben Abraham Alantasi. Alantasi's first book was an edition of part I of Jacob ben Asher's codification, the Tur Orah Hayyim, printed in August or September 1485, followed by a Hebrew edition of the Prophets, in 1486/87. His types were later acquired by the Lisbon prototypographer Eliezer Toledano (see lot 180). All of his books are EXTREMELY RARE. Of the present edition, only 17 copies are known (cf. Offenberg Census, present copy included); of these 9 are fragments or imperfect.
Goff Heb-56; H 1882(II); Haebler Bibliografía Iberica 329; IDL 2454; IGI 5094; Ohly-Sack 1534; Goldstein 72 (2 copies in England, including this copy); Proctor 9600; Zedner p. 298; Offenberg Census 72.
