Responsa of Rabbeinu Asher (the Rosh). Venice, 1552. Bragadin printing press. Second edition. Glosses and comments by several writers, in Ashkenazi and Oriental handwriting, 16th and 17th centuries. Most of the long glosses were written by the author of Ein Yehosef, who signed three of the glosses: "Yosef Chazan" (see pages 101/a, 112/a, 136/b). The title page is inscribed with an interesting dedication to the Beit Midrash in Nikolsburg, from the estate of R. Gershon Chayut, Rabbi of Nikolsburg and its district, who died on Shushan Purim 1789. More Ashkenazi signatures, from 1769 and other dates. R. Yosef son of R. Eliyahu Chazan, author of Ein Yehosef (1615-1698), leading Rabbi of Izmir, disciple of the Maharit in the Constantinople Yeshiva and teacher of R. Avraham Yisrael Ze'evi, author of Orim Gedolim. Reputedly, his sight weakened due to the many hours he pored over the holy books but a miracle occurred restoring his sight. To commemorate this event, he named his books Ein (eye of) Yehosef. In 1690, he moved to Jerusalem and served as Rishon L'Zion (Chief Rabbi). From his compositions were printed: Ein Yehosef on Bava Metzi'ah (Izmir, 1635), on Bava Kama and on Shevu'ot (Dyhernfurth, c. 1708 - this edition was entirely consumed by fire during printing), Ein Yehosef sermons (Izmir, 1675). The Chida notes that he saw a manuscript of responsa authored by R. Yosef Chazan and a large commentary on Ein Ya'akov. Torah thoughts from the book Ein Yehosef are cited extensively in later Torah literature. For example: In the commentary of the Vilna Gaon on the Shulchan Aruch (Choshen Mishpat, end of Siman 268) and in the books of R. Akiva Eiger. [R. (Refael) Yosef Chazan the second, author of Chikrei Lev (1741-1820), leading rabbi in Izmir who also served as Rishon L'Zion in Jerusalem in his senior years, was a fourth-generation descendant of R. Yosef Chazan the first]. Rabbi Gershon Chayut (Otzar HaRabbanim 4410, died in 1789), eminent Torah scholar, famous pious Kabbalist. Rabbi of Hotzenplotz. Between 1770-1778 served as rabbi in Mattersdorf and following the demise of Rabbi Shmuel [Shmelke] Horowitz of Nikolsburg, was summoned to succeed him as Rabbi of Nikolsburg and of the Moravian region. He died on Shushan Purim 1789 and was succeeded by the Maharam Bennet who was a member of his Beit Din. 125, 128-155 leaves + [4] handwritten leaves. Variant. Page 121/2 was accidently omitted during printing, and page 126/2 was printed in its palce. Leaves 126 and 127 are missing.
