Description
   A pocket size Shulchan Arukh, Hoshen Mishpat, with the Yavetz's notes on almost every page. While many have been trimmed, many survive intact, while others can be read in part from the remaining text.

R. Ya’acov ibn Zur (signs Yavetz), (1673–1752), rabbi, scholar, and holy man was born in Fez. Among his teachers were R. Menahem Serero and R. Vidal Zarfati. Oppressive taxation induced the Yavetz to move to Meknes, where he became a member of the bet din of R. Judah ibn Attar (the uncle and teacher of the Ohr Ha’Chaim Ha’Kodesh).
