The book 'Peirot Ginosar' on the Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The book 'Peirot Ginosar' on the Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah. The book contains two commentaries: Pri Chadash by Rabbi Chizkiya de Silva, and Pri To'ar by Rabbi Chaim ben Atar, the author of 'Or Ha'Chaim'. Amsterdam 5502 (1742).

The book was printed by Rabbi Chaim ben Atar (5456-5503,1696-1743). Among his many original Halachic rulings, his composition 'Pri To'ar' includes criticism of the rulings of Rabbi Chizkiya de Silva written in 'Pri Chadash'. Therefore, Rabbi Chaim ben Atar decided to print his composition with the rulings of the Shulchan Aruch in the center of the page and the two 'fruits' (Pri) on either side: 'Pri Chadash' and 'Pri To'ar'. This edition is the first edition of this composition by Rabbi Chaim ben Atar, and was printed during his lifetime. The title-page and the approbations mention his trip from the city of Sal'e in Morocco to Jerusalem to serve as the head of 'Knesset Yisrael' Yeshiva, which he founded. In the book, there is the signature of "the young man Yichye ben Sal'e Alkapach" – Rabbi Yichye ben Rabbi Suliman Kapach (5610-5692, 1850-1932), one of the heads of the rabbinical court in Sana'a and later the founder of the 'Dardaim' Movement in Yemen. The signature of Rabbi Yichye ben Shlomo HaCohen, a rabbinical judge in Sana'a, also appears in the book. Comments in an unidentified handwriting appear throughout the book, as well as additional notes of ownership of various other people, and other notes. 275 pages. 34 cm.

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
