Detailed
Description		    R. Elijah ibn Hayyim (1530?–1610?), rabbi and halakhist, known as Maharanah or Morenu ha-Rav ibn Hayyim. R. Elijah was born in Adrianople and in about 1575 was appointed chief rabbi of Constantinople. His writings—including novellae, discussions on most of the tractates of the Talmud, and responsa—were stolen, but some were recovered and published. They comprise: Teshuvot ha-Ranah (Constantinople, 1810), responsa, with an appendix consisting of novellae on tractate Ketubbot published by his disciple, R. Isaac di Leon; Mayim Amukim (this lot), responsa, together with others by R. Elijah Mizrahi; Ha-Noten Imrei Shefer (Venice, 1630), homilies on the Pentateuch (the first edition entitled Mikhtav me-Eliyahu (Constantinople, 1624) was probably incomplete).
