Lot 41:
In 1931, Shut Chok UMishpat on Even HaEzer, Choshen Mishpat and Yoreh Deah by Rabbi Chaim Toledano was printed in Fes, Morocco. The author’s grandsons, including Rabbi Raphael Baruch Toledano, took Rabbi Chaim Toledano’s many Halachic manuscripts and edited them to be printed. For this purpose, they copied everything in fine script on paper sheets.
This is the important manuscript that indicates the editors’ work, containing varied pencil markings, some of which mark what should be omitted and what should be printed.
Fine, uniform script, approx. 200 handwritten pages. Begins with Siman 49. North Africa, early 20th century. 21.5X13+ cm. Fine new binding. Good condition.
The author Rabbi Chaim Toledano (passed away in 1750), the son of Rabbi Moshe Toledano, was a descendant of a family whose origin was in Toledo, Spain. Was Av Beis Din and Rav of Meknes, Morocco. His central and important composition was the Shut Chok UMishpat. His brother was Rabbi Yaakov Toledano, the Maharit.
