Teshuvos R. Moshe Alshich, Venice 1605. First Edition.
A complete copy of R. Moshe Alshich’s responsa, first edition. Brought to print after his death by his son R. Chaim Alshich in Venice, 1605. Contains 380 responsa ranging from issues of Choshen Mishpat, Even HaEzer and Yoreh De’ah.
R. Moshe Alshich (1508-1593), known as the Alshich Hakadosh, was a prominent rabbi, preacher, and biblical commentator in the latter part of the sixteenth century. Towards the end of his life, he moved to Safed where he became a student of R. Yosef Karo. His students included R. Chaim Vital and R. Yom Tov Tzahalon. He died in Safed in 1593 where he is buried.
Only a few rabbis were granted the title "Hakadosh" throughout Jewish history. Alongside the Alshich were the Shelah HaKadosh, the Ari HaKadosh and the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh, all of them distinctive personalities in their times. Virtually all his works are well-known, cherished and studied until today.
In overall good condition. Title page reinforced with paper on verso, not affecting text. Light worming, sometimes affecting text. Open tear seen on pp. 43; paper repair to pp. 75, affecting text. Light stains. Bound in a modern binding.
