Raḥame ha-ʾav ʿal ha-ben

Contents

Ethical treatise.

Language(s): Hebrew

ff. 1r-9r
Title: רחמי האב על הבן
Title: Raḥame ha-ʾav ʿal ha-ben
Incipit: מי האיש הירא את דבר ה' ובמצותיו ... מאד

Ethical work, chiefly with regard to sins associated with sexual intercourse.

A note on flyleaf (ii)r states that the text was composed by Abraham Joseph Salomon Graziano: סק רחמי האב על הבן מוסר נחמד ... שהוא חבור מוהר"ר אי"ש ג"ר זצ"ל. It is possibly that this manuscript is an autograph, cf. Graziano's autograph works (Montefiore MSS 479 and 480, Lot 360 in the Sotheby's catalogue, 2004). The author of the text quotes from a manuscript of the Derushim by Israel Curiel, and the only two complete manuscripts of Curiel's Derushim were both owned by Graziano (Sotheby's cat., p. 325).
