Description		    Novellae on the Talmud, Rashi, and Tosafot by R. Abraham ben Benjamin Halimi. The verso of the title page has a dedicatory box to be completed by the buyer. There is a brief introduction by R. Halimi followed by two pages of the names of subscribers who supported publication of Yeme Avraham. The text follows, in two columns in rabbinic type. Yeme Avraham is in two parts. Part one has novellae on tractates Pesahim, Gittin, Ketubbot, Kiddushin, Bava Kamma, Bava Mezia, Megillah, Hagigah, Bezah, and Sukkah, in that order. Part two, with new foliation but no title page, is on tractates Bava Mezia, Avodah Zarah, Makkot, Pesahim, Sukkah, Nazir, and Nedarim.

The Hebrew press in Djerba was established by David Aydan in 1904, and many books, mainly Passover Hagaddot and other liturgical items, were printed there until 1960.
