Description		    Only edition of this work on the rules of Hebrew grammar by R. Jacob Hayyim ben Joshua ha-Kohen. The title page has a border made up of verses. Its text states that it was written by the wondrous grammarian, R. Jacob Hayyim ben Joshua ha-Kohen of Jaraslov currently resident in Brod. Small in size but of great value, it includes almost all the rules of grammar in such a manner as to enter the hearts of those who hearken to it. It is an opening to to those who come to learn the wisdom of grammar of the holy language. It has been compiled from the works of earlier and later sages in the field. Hukei Hayyim is dated “and kept וישמר (556 = 1796) my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws” (Genesis 26:3). There are approbations from R. Zevi Hirsch Lewin, R. Aaron ha-Levi Horowitz, R. Zenvul Niyya Gas, and R. Zenvul Brandborg, followed by the author’s introduction. The text is in a single column in rabbinic type, excepting the numerous examples which are in square punctuated Hebrew.
