The Arba Turim that Rabbi Yaacov ben Asher, the son of the Rosh, authored. Summaries of the methods of the poskim in all four areas of psak. Orech Chaim, Yoreh De’ah, Even HaEzer, and Choshen Mishpat. With many comments and sources, printed on the edges of the folios. Riva de Trento [1561]
This book was in fact published in Riva de Trento in the previous year i.e. [1560]. However for some reason the title page was replaced the following year and it was written in it as outlined above. Similarly other changes on the title page. And changes made on leaf 6.
6, 9 – 80, 66, 42, 102, leaves. 1 leaf folded.
In the copy before us there are a few blemishes: the title page is photocopied, in 2 of the index pages there is damage due to the printing, four leaves are missing in section Orech Chaim: 9-10, 15-16. Similarly the folded leaf in Hilchot Rosh Chodesh – as a photocopy.
The rest of the book is in attractive and good condition. Without stains or signs of moths. Good margins. Thick paper. In the section Yoreh De’ah in Hilchot Avodah Zarah there are many erasures by the censors of individual words, which were filled in afterwards by hand. Impressive semi-leather binding.
