Shulchan Aruch Ohr HaChaim published by the Romm Widow and Brothers, Vilna, 1880. Copy that belonged to the Rishon LeTziyon Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef. Signature from his youth on the flyleaf. Sanctified book wherein Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef’s famous toil and diligence are evident.
Shulchan Aruch Ohr HaChaim is the central rabbinic tool, given that most questions for rabbis deal with daily life, and their halachahs are concentrated in the Ohr HaChaim section of the Shulchan Aruch. And this is indeed evident in the usage marks on each and every leaf. Before us, therefore, is the central tool of the leading Sephardic adjudicator of recent generations, Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef, who also served in the most important government positions in the subject of Jewish adjudication, as Rishon LeTziyon, and as chief rabbi, and as head Av Beit Din of the State of Israel.
