USADO / GEBRAUCHT / USED. Proverbios morales es un largo poema de contenido moral y sapiencial escrito en castellano medieval por un autor identificado como Santo(b), judío de Carrión, probablemente hacia mediados del siglo XIV. El poema está dirigido al rey Pedro I de Castilla, con referencias a su padre Alfonso XI, y circuló tanto entre lectores cristianos como judíos. Compuesto en forma de máximas y reflexiones éticas, el texto aborda diversos temas como la virtud de la liberalidad, la pobreza del sabio, la magnanimidad del rey o la importancia del saber desde una perspectiva que combina sabiduría práctica y filosofía moral, sin limitarse a un solo grupo social. Escrita desde la posición de quien se sabe frágil pero intelectualmente valioso, la obra desarrolla una ética exigente para una "aristocracia espiritual" y refleja el entrelazamiento de la tradición sapiencial medieval europea y la cultura judeoespañola.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. In Hebrew, in large font and vowelized (with nikud). 420 pages. 9.25 x 7 inches. Very small hole in front blank free endpaper, and binding slightly exposed. See scan. Otherwise it is in excellent condition. 90 Sefer ha-Chinuch al taryag Mitzvot (Hachinch, Hakhinukh)(Hebrew: "Book of Education" on the 613 commandments), often simply "the Chinuch" is a work which systematically discusses the 613 commandments of the Torah. This large edition is edited by Baal Mishne Lemelekh and Rabbi Yeshaaya Pik and includes an introduction, the 7 mitzvot derabanan, takanot derabanan, 7 mitzvot bney Noah, various rules, the 13 midot the Torah requires. It was published anonymously in 13th century Spain. The work's enumeration of the commandments (Hebrew: mitzvot?; sing. mitzvah) is based upon Maimonides' system of counting as per his Sefer Hamitzvot; each is listed according to its appearance in the weekly Torah portion and the work is structured correspondingly. Although the anonymous author states that he wrote it for his son and the youth of his time to learn on Sabbath afternoons, it was embraced by the entire nation as a masterpiece. The author lists all 613 Commandments following the weekly Torah Readings. He explains the source of each mitzvah, suggests a reason for it and the lesson it contains for us, and provides a summary of its laws. The book gives expression to the essence of the mitzvos in a manner that speaks to the heart of the Jew. No other work approaches it in presenting the grandeur and majesty of the 613 Mitzvos. The "Book of Education" separately discusses each of the 613 commandments, both from a legal and a moral perspective. For each, the discussion starts by linking the mitzvah to its Biblical source, and then addresses the philosophical underpinnings of the commandment (here, termed the "shoresh", or "root"). Following this, the Chinuch presents a brief overview of the halakha (practical Jewish law) governing its observance - usually based on Maimonides' Mishneh Torah - and closes with a summary as to the commandment's applicability. Because of this structure, the work remains popular to this day. The philosophic portions are widely quoted and taught, while the legal discussion provides the basis for much further study in yeshivot. The Minchat Chinuch by "Rabbeinu Yosef" (Yosef Ben Moshe Babad, 1800 -1874), Av Beit Din of Ternopil, serves as a legal commentary. The sixteenth century author Gedaliah ibn Yahyah credited the Sefer ha-Chinuch to Rabbi Aharon HaLevi of Barcelona (1235-c. 1290), a Talmudic scholar and halakhist; but others disagree, as the views of the Chinuch contradict opinions held by HaLevi in other works. This has led to the conclusion that the true author to Sefer HaChinuch was a different Reb Aharon Halevi, a student of the Rashba, rather than his colleague. In 1980, Professor Israel Ta-Shma of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem demonstrated convincingly that the author of "Sefer ha-Chinuch" was in fact Pinchas as the son of Elazar and the grandson of Aaron, who had written the work.
