Description
   Novellae on Bava Mezia, and some responsa, with the approbations of the rabbis of Jerusalem and Cairo.

R. Joseph b. Elijah Hazzan (d. after 1694) was a pupil of R. Joseph Trani, colleague of R. Hayyim Benveniste in Constantinople, and the teacher of R. Abraham Israel Ze'evi. From Constantinople he proceeded to Smyrna, and from there to Jerusalem, where he died. He also was the author of Ein Yosef (Smyrna, 1675), homilies on the weekly readings of the Bible; and a commentary on the Ein Ya'akov, to which he refers in the preface to the Ein Yosef. A commentary on the Pentateuch has also remained in manuscript. Most of his responsa were destroyed in a fire together with other manuscripts.

          
Paragraph 2    אשר חיבר ... הרב ... יוסף חזן זצ"ל ... על מסכת מציעא על גפ"ת ... הובא לבית הדפוס ע"י בנו ... ר' כלב חזן ...

דף [3-1]: הקדמת בן המחבר ר' חיים והקדמת המגיה, ר' דוד ב"ר חיים חזן, בן בנו של המחבר. המגיה מספר בהקדמתו, שהחלק על בבא קמא ושבועות נדפס בדיהרן פראט [!], אבל כל המהדורה נשרפה "ולא נותר מהם כי אם א' בברשלה ביד החכם ... יעקב תלמיד הרב יונה ז"ל, שהיה שם בברעסלא דיין העיר".
