Description		    Only edition of these responsa by R. Isaiah ben Mordecai Dayan of Aram Soba with his signature on the title page. There are approbations from R. Shalom Caosci, R. Saul Ezra Davikh ha-Kohen, R. Abraham Dayyan, R. Isaac Sarim, R. Moses ben Saud, R. Moses ha-Kohen, and R. Moses ben Sathon, all of Aram Soba, and from R. Menasseh Matalov Sathhon of Safed, and R. Mordecai Abadi, R. Aaron Shevicah, and R. Saul Davikh ha-Kohen. The text follows in two columns in rabbinic letters.

R. Isaiah ben Mordecai Dayan of Aram Soba (c. 1833-1903) belonged to the Syrian Dayyan family, which claims descent from King David, tracing its origin traced to a branch of the house of Josiah Hasan ben Zakkai, brother of the exilarch David (?917–940). R. Isaiah Dayan was the chief mohel of Aram Soba and an expert scribe. He was also an expert printer and published a number of holy books according to the Syrian custom. He also published a Shir ha-Shirim with Arabic translation, in which he describes the Syrian custom of going Friday nights to the cave of Eliyahu ha-Navi and afterwards learning Mishnayot, saying Kadish and making pledges to the synagogue for oil and lights.
