Description		    Responsa on the Shulhan Arukh by R. Hayyim Mordecai ben Halfon Lavton. The title page has a decorative frame and is dated, “Blessings ברכות (628 = 1868) are upon the head of the just” (Proverbs 10:6). The title, Nokhah ha-Shulhan “opposite the table” (Exodus 26:35, 40:24), refers to the placement of the table in the Tabernacle. The text states, look and rejoice all who see, “This, the ordinance of the Torah” (Numbers 19:2, 31:21). Halakhic responsa “the judgment of the people of Israel” (Exodus 28:30) in the order of the Arba’ah Turim. Nokhah ha-Shulhan was brought to press by the author’s grandson, R. Isaac Lavton. There is an approbation from the rabbis of Aram Zova, R. Shalom Casci, R. Abraham Dayyan, R. Moses Sathon, and R. Saul Ezra דוויך ha-Kohen, and another approbation from R. Hayyim Joseph Yoshia Mussafa. The approbations are followed by the author’s introduction and then the text, which is in two columns in rabbinic type excepting headers and initial words which are in square letters. Orah Hayyim (1a-28a) is comprised of sixteen responsa and Hoshen Mishpat (28b- 114b) has forty responsa. There is an index of the responsa in H. M. (115a) and then novellae on Hoshen Mishpat (115b-143).
