Shulchan HaTahor. Abbreviated Tarya”g Mitzvot L’HaRamba”m as arranged by the Shach, divided by the thirty days of the month, with supplements from the gemara, Zohar and more, by Rabbi Nissim Zerachiah Azoulay. Yisrael Beck Press. Safed, 1836. First edition.
Yisrael Beck printed only six sefarim in Safed. He then moved to Jerusalem where he reestablished his press. This sefer was actually the last he printed in Safed, and there are those who found a reference for this in the calculation of the year detail which includes the word ‘ירושלים’ as a hint that he was planning on moving to Jerusalem.
The final leaves bear a five-year calendar.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the author, Rabbi Nissim Zerachiah Azoulay, only son of Rabbi Avraham Azoulay, son of the Chid”a .
