Arundel MS 151 ff 190-191v

Response on marriage law

Contents

A response on marriage law.

Language(s): Hebrew

ff. 190r-191v
Title: Teshuvah
Title: תשובה

This document is bound in a volume of 'Letters and Papers relative to the divorce of Henry VIII.'

A reply of Jacob Rafael of Modena to a question of Messer Francisco Curtiso relative to the law of levirate. The question proposed is whether the law of levirate as given in Deuteronomy 25:5,6 was originally understood to limit the prohibition of Leviticus 18:16, or not. The answer is in favour of the first alternative, and thus adversed to the contention of Henry VIII.

Colophon: הצעיר מחוי קידה מלא קומתו מתחנן לכל רואה דבריו ידינהו לכף זכותו : יעקב רפאל פיינא' יצ"ו ל' יינאו' ר"ץ מודינה. f. 191v
