Most of the volume was printed in Venice, and some in Salonika. The title page indicates that it was printed in Venice, but the author added another 29-page part, which he printed in Salonika. At the beginning of this additional part, the author writes that he sent it to be printed in Venice, but in the meantime he continued to write responsa, despite his weakness, and those he is printing in his own city, Salonika. He adds: "and these two books … will be joined together."
Present is only the part printed in Salonika, 1592.

11. Sefer Sha’ar Yosef. The Chid"a’s First Sefer. First Edition, Livorno, 1756.
Novellae and in-depth discussions on Tractate Horiyot, as well as responsa, from Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azoulay (the Chid"a). Livorno, 1756. First edition.
The first work printed from among the many works by the Chid"a, known to have been written when he was only 17 years old. The Chid"a printed the sefer when he was in Livorno towards the end of the period of his first mission in Italy.
The Chid"a received approbations for the sefer from his teacher, Rabbi Yonah Navon, who encouraged him to commit his novellae to paper already in his youth, along with those by his father, Rabbi Yitzchak Zerachiah Azoulay, and by his father-in-law, Rabbi Nissim Berachah. Many additional approbations from sages of Jerusalem and Hebron; Rabbi Yehudah Ayash and others.
Sought-after sefer. With respect to its rarity, one can grasp it from Rabbi Betzalel Rangshburg’s introduction to his sefer, Horah Gaver on Tractate Horiyot (Prague, 1802), in which he discusses Sefer Sha’ar Yosef and writes that he expended a huge amount of effort to obtain it, but he was unsuccessful. Refer to M. Benayahu as well, in his work HaChid"a p. 186, where he writes that the sefer became scarce already in the author’s lifetime.
