Sha’arei Dura With Mevo She’arim. Lublin 1574
Prominent and rare First edition.
Printed for the first time with The Rema, Rabbi Moshe Isserlin’s glosses, and the elucidation, Mevo She’arim by Rabbi Nathan bar Shimon Shapira.
Sha’arei Dura was greatly accepted as a significant book of Halachic rulings. It is also significant as a great resource on laws and customs of Poland, Russia, Lithuania and Ashkenaz, that are mentioned in this book.
R
abbi Nathan ben Rabbi Shimon Shapira, author of Mevo She’arim and Imrei Shefer, was a leading scholar and a peer of Rabbi Shachne of Lublin. His grandson and namesake is Rabbi Nathan Shapira, the Megale Amukos. Rabbi Nathan’s work of Mevo She’arim on Sha’arei Dura was printed in his latter years, and was proofread by his students. This work became a cornerstone in the study of Hilchot Yoreh De’ah throughout the Ashkenaz lands.
