Contemporary brown cloth boards backed in black calf. Blind bands and motifs on flat spine, worn. , A good example of this book of Jewish law or code. Reprinted from the 1874 Vilna edition. The Shulchan Aruch, sometimes dubbed in English as the Code of Jewish Law, is the most widely consulted of the various legal codes in Judaism. It was authored in Safed (today in Israel) by Yosef Karo (1488 ? 1575) in 1563 and is modeled after the Arba?ah Turim, composed some two centuries earlier by Rabbi Jacob ben Asher (c. 1270 ? 1340). Together with its commentaries, the Shulchan Aruch is the most widely accepted compilation of halakha, or Jewish law, ever written. The Orach Chaim (manner/way of life) is a division of this larger code, which may refer to either the Arba?ah Turim or the Shulchan Aruch. The Orach Chaim addresses aspects of Jewish law pertinent to the Hebrew calendar (be it the daily, weekly, monthly, or annual calendar), including laws of prayer, Synagogue, Sabbath, and holidays. , Size : 8vo.

Despite the antiquity and prestige of the Jewish community of Frankfurt am Main, Hebrew printing in that city did not begin in earnest until the latter half of the seventeenth century. Before that point, Frankfurt Jews were forced to produce their books elsewhere. In 1609, three such Jews - Yitshak Isaac Langenbach zum Krebs, Abraham zum gulden Schaaf, and Samuel zur weißen Rosen - petitioned neighboring Hanau to allow them to publish there. Their petition was successful, and they, together with a local Hanau Jew and the printer Hans Jacob Henne, were granted a Hebrew printing privilege for ten years in return for fifty gulden per annum. From 1610 until 1622, the Henne press issued twenty-seven titles, including this book. One of the first Hebrew books to feature Moses and Aaron on the title page.
