Mishpat Tzedek, First Edition. Salonika, 1615. Rare Book
Mishpat Tzedek, Part I. Responsa by the gaon Rabbi Meir Melamed, son of Rabbi Shem Tov Melamed ztz"l, whose Torah illuminated the Moria region. First edition. Salonika, 1615. Rare book.
The author, Rabbi Meir Melamed son of Rabbi Shem Tov [who passed away just before the book was printed], was a rabbi in Patras, Greece, and one of the leading sages and halachic decisors of Turkey and Greece. The Chid"a, in his book Shem Gedolim, writes that Rabbi Meir was a disciple of Rabbi Yosef ibn Ezra, author of Atzmot Yosef (who even mentions him in his book) and of Rabbi Aharon ibn Chasson, and this is also what is written in Seder HaDorot. At the beginning of this book, there is a preface by the author about his children who passed away.

Fine condition: Minimal aging stains. Some of the title page is professionally restored by photocopy. As such, there is also slight restoration to the margins of the [7] first leaves, with damage to individual words. Elegant leather binding.
