The National Library of Israel in Jerusalem announced on Tuesday the acquisition of 90 singular pages from one of the very first religious Jewish texts ever printed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pages<\/a> come from the only known copy of a late 15th century edition of Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher\u2019s \u201cArba\u2019ah Turim,\u201d a leading code of Jewish law. The edition was published in Italy around 1492 by Yehoshua Soncino, who set up one of the world\u2019s first Hebrew printing presses in 1484.<\/span><\/p>\n

No complete copies of the edition remain, and the pages procured by the national library, which already had 59 pages from the book, are not in any other public or private collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cArba\u2019ah Turim\u201d \u2014 or \u201cFour Columns\u201d in Hebrew \u2014 is divided into four sections, each covering a different area of Jewish law. The pages newly acquired by the national library come from the first two sections: \u201cOrach Chayim,\u201d which covers laws pertaining to prayers, Sabbath, and Jewish holidays; and \u201cYoreh De\u2019ah,\u201d which discusses ritualistic laws, such as ritual animal slaughter and the rules of keeping kosher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rabbi Yaakov ben Asher was a leading rabbinical authority who lived from about 1269 to 1343. His work in \u201cArba\u2019ah Turim\u201d served as a basis for Rabbi Joseph Caro\u2019s 16th century \u201cShulchan Aruch,\u201d widely considered to be the most influential legal code of Judaism.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven though the complete edition has not survived, it is exciting that these pages \u2014 part of an exceedingly important Jewish text \u2014 have come down to us and will now be preserved and made accessible to scholars and the general public by the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem,\u201d said Dr. Yoel Finkelman, curator of the library\u2019s Haim and Hanna Salomon Judaica Collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were less than 200 Hebrew titles printed before the year 1500, during a period called the \u201cincunabula.\u201d Israel\u2019s national library has copies of more than 80 of these works, out of approximately 150 that have survived to present day.<\/span><\/p>\n
