Torat Kohanim (Sifra), Halachic Midrash on the book of Vayikra, with the Korban Aharon commentary, by R. Aharon ibn Chaim. Venice, 1609-[1611]. First edition. On the title page: "Acquired with the money which G-d granted me, I his servant Gavriel […], may G-d grant me the merit of studying it, annotating it and producing novellae […]". Part of the signature is deleted. Inscriptions in Hebrew and Italian on the preceding leaf: "Pontremoli". An early sticker is attached to the spine of the book, inscribed: "Midot Aharon and Korban Aharon, with marginalia by R. Gavriel Pontremoli in his actual handwriting, on Torat Kohanim and the Thirteen Rules". Hundreds of scholarly glosses in Italian script, mostly lengthy, in the handwriting of R. Gavriel Pontremoli, Rabbi of Turin. The glosses predominantly consider and analyze the words of the Korban Aharon commentary. The glosses quote Torah thoughts heard from Italian Torah scholars and Kabbalists, such as the Remez (p. 199a) and R. Yosef Ravenna (p. 266a). Most of the glosses pertain to Halacha, yet several relate to Midrash and Aggada. The amount and scope of the glosses present before us a complete, hitherto unpublished composition on the Torat Kohanim and on the Korban Aharon commentary. R. Gavriel Pontremoli was a foremost Italian rabbi and Kabbalist in the early 18th century. He taught Torah for many years in Casale Monferrato, where he served as preacher and Rosh Yeshiva, "to teach and impart understanding of the Talmud and Halachic texts to upright disciples and attentive colleagues, and he composed novellae on the Talmud" (Toldot Gedolei Yisrael by R. Mordechai Shmuel Ghirondi). In 1714, he was appointed rabbi of Turin. His rulings and responsa are quoted in Responsa of the Rabach, Responsa Shemesh Tzedaka, Pachad Yitzchak and other books. He was a leading opponent of the Sabbatean Nechemia Hayyun. Ownership inscription in Italian script on the front endpaper, signed L.A.: "I acquired this book in 1843 with other books, from my friend R. Elya HaLevi son of Meir, through the Torah scholar R. Eliezer Ashkenazi Polacco of Tunis, while he was passing through our town. Whose name is L.A.[?]". Other ownership inscriptions on the title page, some deleted. 139; 110, 113-302, [4] leaves. Lacking leaves 111-112 of the second sequence, as well as pp. 278b, 281a (omitted due to a printing error). Altogether lacking 2 leaves and 2 pages. The missing leaves and pages were completed by hand (the text of Torat Kohanim in square script, and the Korban Aharon commentary in Italian script), presumably in the handwriting of R. Gavriel Pontremoli himself. 29 cm. Overall good condition. Stains, dampstains. Wear. Margins of title page and first leaves reinforced with paper. Original leather binding, damaged.
