Manuscript commentary of the Maimonides on the mishna Shabbat Tract, 92 Pages, Yemen 19th Century.

Complete manuscript [24 chapters]. Ink on thick paper, eloquently wrote. 24 lines per page. Few glosses from a periodical writer.

It is known that in the last two hundred years there has not been a complete set of all six mishnayot with Maimonides' commentary in Arabic in Yemen. And even a complete seder was not found in any Yemenite country, except for seder Moed and nezikin that was found in only one complete form, seder Moed at the Alshich Synagogue, and seder Nezikin in a private family. Despite the ramba'm' desire that his books be translated into the holy language, as he wrote in his famous letter to the lonil sages: "And if you asked me to copy you in the holy language (referring to his book 'more nevochim'') to make your inquiry... ' In any case, manuscripts were found in Jewish- Arabic writing, as the commentary was originally written, such as the manuscript before us, from which they learned the commentary of the Mishnah.

Not bound. Detached pages. Very good condition.
