Obj. ID: 36036  Birkat Ya'akov by Ya'akov ben Baruch Av Beit Din Tutschin, Lemberg, 1784

This text was prepared by William Gross:

A "Pleasant magnificent elucidation" on the Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat and Nosei Keilav by Rabbi Baruch son of Yaakov,  Av Beit Din  Tuchin.
Printed in Lemberg, the book is one of a myriad of volumes that bears the word "Amsterdam" (part of the phrase, [printed with] the letters of Amsterdam) in monumental letters on its title page. This of course reflects the high esteem in which books from the Amsterdam presses were held.
Hayyim David b. Aharon Ha-Levi [Segal] was a member of a printing family active in Zolkiew and Lemberg in the 18th C - 19th C. The death of his son, Gershon, along with other difficulties of the period, caused their press to close briefly in 1768, reopening in 1770. In c. 1782, the family members listed as partners were Hayyim David, Zev Wolf b. Gersoom Segal, and Judith, widow of Menachem Mann.
