Sefer Mishneh Torah LaHaRambam, section II, Nashim and Kedusha – Venice, 1574 – the first edition of Kesef Mishneh – printed in the lifetime of the author, Maran the Beit Yosef – hundreds of glosses in Italian script by which an abbreviated and different version of Hagahot Maimoniyyot was copied

The work Hagahot Maimoniyyot was authored by the Maharam of Rotenburg. The work is similar to Hagahot HaRema on the Shulchan Aruch. That is, whenever Baalei Hatosafot disagree with the Rambam, the author introduces and explains their opinion. The Hagahot Maimoniyyot had two versions (one completing the other). One of them was printed in Mishneh Torah, the Kushta 1509 edition; the second was printed in the Venice 1524 edition (in the Frankel edition of the Rambam, the version of the Venice edition was printed on the leaf and that of the Kushta edition, at the end of the volumes).

In this volume, copied onto the margins of the sheet is an abbreviated, different version. These glosses contain only the Piskei Halacha and the openings, endings, sources and reasoning as printed in the two other versions were omitted. They also contain textual variations and even complete sentences that do not appear in the printed versions (see for example, the gloss on leaf 9a and leaf 12a).

Possibly, this is an abbreviation of Hagahot Maimoniyyot edited by an ancient sage or an earlier version which was edited before the two printed, familiar ones.

Stamp on the title page: "מרדכי בהר’ ישראל צבי הכהן מטשעכאנאוו פלך פלאצק".

At the end of the book, a foreign notation from 1599.

[10], 217, [1] leaves. 30 cm. Good condition. Stains. Tears to the edges of the title page, not affecting the text. New binding.
