Only edition.

Halakhic novellae on the Levush Ateret Zahav on Yoreh De’ah of R. Mordecai ben Abraham Jaffe by R. Samuel ben R. Azriel Rubin. The Levushim, of which there are ten parts, is one of the great halakhic works. When R. Joseph Caro's Beit Yosef appeared Jaffe expressed disappointment for that encyclopedic work did not address the need for a halakhic digest. R. Jaffe undertook to prepare a concise work, but interruptions, and the news that R. Caro was preparing an abridgement caused Jaffe to discontinue his efforts. When the Shulhan Arukh appeared R. Jaffe noted that it was too succinct, lacking explanatory material, like a “dream without interpretation or meaning,” and, “a well prepared table of refreshments, but without the salt of reasoning.” Furthermore, he, along with others, felt that the Shulhan Arukh’s Sephardic emphasis made it unsuitable for Ashkenazic Jews. R. Jaffe again began his own code, when it became known that the Rema was preparing glosses to the Shulhan Arukh. However, when Jaffe, saw those glosses (Mappah) he felt that they too were excessively concise. The code that Jaffe produced is the Levushim, printed from 1590 to 1604, in Lublin and Cracow. For some time it appeared that Ashkenaz Jewry would accept the Levush instead of the Shulhan Arukh as their standard halakhic work, but the commentaries to the Shulhan Arukh addressed the deficiencies noted by R. Jaffe and the Shulhan Arukh prevailed. Ateret Zahav follows the order of the Tur and is on Yoreh De’ah. Hagorat Shmuel is a commentary on the Levush Ateret Zahav.
The title page has an architectural frame topped by a crown. There are approbations from ten prominent rabbis and introductions from the author and from his son. The text is in two columns, the inner that of the Levush in square letters, the outer column Hagorat Shmuel in rabbinic type. The volume begins with hikhot terafus (siman 29) and concludes with taruvos (110).
