Yemin Mosheh by Mosheh ben Yosef Ṿenṭurah

Contents

Language(s): Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic

ff. 1r-81v
Author: ונטורה, משה בן יוסף Ṿenṭurah, Mosheh ben Yosef, active 16th century
Title: ימין משה
Title: Yemin Mosheh
Incipit: הלכות שחיטה - מי הם הכשרים לשחוט ובו יג סעיפי

In the outer margins: commentary with running title: ז"ת. According to the catalogue of the National Library of Israel, it is an abridged version of the book Zivḥe Todah by Yaḥia Tsalaḥ. According to Catalogue of Hebrew Manuscripts in the Gaster Collection, the text does not correspond with the printed edition, and it perhaps equals זבחי תימן.

The name of the scribe is written in a calligraphical form at the end of the colophon.

Copied for Yaḥia ibn Dāʾūd Sālim Maʿutsah.

Colophon: ספרא חלשא ומסכינא אני הקל והצעיר קל הקלים עפר רגלי החכמים חיים ן’ אבר[הם] ש’פר יצ"ו שזכני ה' לכתוב ספרים עד אין קץ ולא עוד שכתבתי הלכות שחיטה ימין משה ליחיא ן’ דאוד סאלם מעוצ’ה ... נשלמה יום א' כ"ו טבת בקצ"ג" [לשטרות]. f. 81v
