First edition of this multi-part work of novellae on the tractates dealing with the festivals in Tishrei by R. Moses ben Solomon Ibn Habib, one of the sages of Constantinople. The title page has an ornate oriental frame and is dated with the chronogram “[Who laid the foundations of the earth], that it should not move forever” (Psalms 104:5).There is an introduction from the author on the verso of the title page and then the text, which is in three parts, each with its own foliation. The first part is Yom Teru'ah on tractate Rosh Ha-Shanah, followed by Tosafot Yom ha-Kippurim on tractate Yoma, and Kappot Temarim on the tractate Sukkah.
R. Moses ben Solomon Ibn Habib (c. 1654–1696) was a Turkish rabbi and author. He was born in Salonika , a descendant of R. Levi ben Ḥabib , and went to Jerusalem in his youth. He studied in the yeshivah of R. Jacob Ḥagiz and from c. 1677 to 1679 he traveled as an emissary of Jerusalem, reaching as far as Budapest. In 1688 Ḥabib was appointed head of the yeshivah in Jerusalem maintained by the philanthropist Moses ibn Ya'ish, of Constantinople. In the following year, on the death of Moses Galante, Ḥabib was appointed to succeed him as chief rabbi of Jerusalem (1689). His grandson, R. Jacob Culi, who published most of his grandfather's works, also had in his possession a number of other manuscripts which he used in his own work Me-'Am Lo'ez (Constantinople, 1733). A manuscript of his sermons is in the National Library in Jerusalem. The ascription to him of the Eẓ ha-Da'at (printed in Or Ẓaddikim, Salonika, 1799) has been questioned by S. Ḥazzan. R. Ibn Habib also wrote the following works: Get Pashut (Ortakoi, 1719), on the laws of divorce and ḥaliẓa; and Ezrat Nashim (ibid., 1731), on the laws of agunah. R. Ḥ.J.D. Azulai states that most of Ḥabib's responsa were lost at sea; however some have survived, and have been published, part in Kol Gadol (Jerusalem, 1907), and part in the works of contemporary scholars (Devar Sha'ul, 1927). He also wrote a commentary on the Jerusalem Talmud entitled Penei Moshe of which tractates Berakhot, Pe'ah, and Demai are extant in manuscript (Sassoon Ms. 592).
