Sefer Yesod: Sefer Dina d’Chayei, 2 sections. Only edition, rare, Istanbul 1742.
Sefer Dina d’Chayei, 2 sections, an exegesis on the Smag by Rabbi Moshe Mekotzi, written by Rabbi Chaim Benvenisti (author of the well-known work Knesset HaGedolah on the Arba Turim). Published for the first time from a manuscript ganuz among rabbis of the Alfandery family—rabbi Shlomo inherited it from his father, Rabbi Chaim.

First and only edition—Istanbul 1742. [2], 211; [1], 136 leaves. Two title pages. Stefanski Sifrei Yesod p. 69. Found in only a few libraries, in the Rare Books sections. Approbations from Istanbul rabbis.

Healthy paper, lone bits of tape (title page and more). Stains, small sections of worming damage (mainly in two locations), strong binding, antique leather spine, overall good condition.

The title page has the inscription “Moga” in pencil. Mizrahi signature on the title page: “the young Yosef ben Reuven”.
