Toldot Adam VeChava, and Sefer Mesharim, laws, by Rabbenu Yerucham of Provence. [Constantinople, 1516]. First edition. Colophon on the last leaf: "And this book was completed on 15th Av 1516, and was printed in Constantinople, under the rule of His Majesty, our master the king, Sultan Selim …". The title page and colophon feature a lion rampant - device of printer Yehuda Sasson, who printed books in the printing press of the Nachmias brothers in Constantinople (see: Yaari, Diglei HaMadpisim HaIvriim, Jerusalem 1944, no. 8, p. 7 and p. 126). This book was not published as a complete book, rather in booklets which were distributed to buyers every Shabbat in the synagogues, following the prevailing practice in Constantinople at that time (see: Yaari, HaDfus HaIvri BeKushta, Jerusalem 1967, p. 103, no. 145. A halachic debate arose amongst the Constantinople rabbis who opposed this practice). It is therefore rare to find complete copies. Signature in the lower part of the title page: "Yisrael Luli". On the verso of the last leaf, a leaf containing a lengthy monetary legal document executed in Salonika is pasted (against "Yom Tov"), slightly trimmed. 272, [14]; 122 leaves. 24.5 cm. Most leaves in good condition. Stains, dampstains. Worming, slightly affecting text on several leaves. Margins of title page trimmed, with tears affecting text on verso, repaired. Title page repaired with paper on all its margins up to the border. Leaves 18, 23, 57 and 64 of the first pagination bound out of sequence. Tears to last five leaves, some affecting text, repaired. Detached sections. Front cover with title page detached, without spine.
