1884 JERUSALEM First Edition of CHIDDUSHE HARAN on MEGILLAH Rabbenu Nissim

Description: 1884 JERUSALEM First Edition of CHIDDUSHE HARAN on MEGILLAH LANGUAGE : HEBREW COMPLETE, CLOTH COVERS Novellae to tractate Megillah by R. Nissim b. Reuben Gerondi (known from the acronym of Rabbenu Nissim as the RaN; ?1310–?1375), one of the most important Spanish talmudists. R. Nissim's family originated in Cordova and settled first in Gerona, where he is thought to have been born, and then in Barcelona, which became his permanent place of residence. Few biographical details are known of him. He never held any official rabbinical post, even though in fact he fulfilled all the functions of a rabbi and dayyan in his community. Furthermore, many takkanot enacted in Spain originated with him, and his reputation as an authoritative posek was such that he received queries from as far as Erez Israel and Syria. He is also known to have served as a physician in the royal palace. Because of a calumny, the date and causes of which are not certain, he was imprisoned for some time. It is also known that in 1336 he wrote a Sefer Torah for his own use, which became well known and served as a model. This Sefer Torah was moved from place to place until it reached Tiberias, where it was preserved until recently. R. Nissim's main teacher, apart from his father, was R. Perez ha-Kohen, with whom he was in close correspondence; R. Nissim even assisted him to become accepted as rabbi of Barcelona (after 1349). It seems that R. Nissim's main activity in his community was as head of the Barcelona yeshivah. Among his chief pupils were R. Isaac b. Sheshet Perfet, who frequently quotes him, mostly anonymously, R. Hasdai Crescas, R. Joseph Habiba, and R. Abraham Tamakh. R. Nissim's renown rests chiefly on his halakhic works. His method and system were solidly founded in accordance with the tradition of learning acquired from the school of Nahmanides, R. Solomon b. Abraham Adret, R. Aaron ha-Levi of Barcelona, and their contemporaries, and though his works contain many sayings of these scholars without naming them, he adapted their words, crystallized them, and added much of his own so that his works are among the best produced by this school of learning. One of his main works is a commentary on the halakhot of R. Isaac Alfasi to the Talmud. It seems that all the parts of this work have been preserved, and all have been published on the margin of Alfasi's commentary beginning with its first printed editions down to the present day.
