1. Mishneh LaMelech – First Edition. Constantinople, 1731.
Sefer Mishneh LaMelech – novellae on the Ramba"m by Rabbi Yehudah Rosanes, the most prominent commentator on the Ramba"m, known by the name of this book, as the author of Mishneh LaMelech. First edition of this fundamental book. Constantinople, 1731.
The book Mishneh LaMelech earned its place in Talmudic literature as one of the fundamental and in-depth scholarly works on the Ramba"m. The author was one of the leading sages of Constantinople of his generation, and Sephardic sages admired him to the point that they would regularly refer to him, given his great expertise and sanctity as "HaRav Tanna." The book was later edited by Rabbi Yehudah Rosanes’ disciple, the gaon Rabbi Ya’akov Kuli, author of Yalkut Me’am Loez, who was a dayan in his beit din. Rabbi Kuli added comments and supplements of his own. This is the first edition of Mishneh LaMelech that was printed as a book in its own right (before it was added into editions of the Ramba"m).
