Aaron Abbas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aaron Abbas was a Jewish editor and printer in Amsterdam, at the beginning of the eighteenth century.[1] He was the publisher of two works:

The first was Aaron Peraḥyah's responsa, known under the name of "Peraḥ Maṭṭeh Aharon" (Amsterdam, 1703), the title-page of which is adorned with artistic woodcuts representing scenes from the life of the high priest Aaron. The book contains, in the nature of a preface, a dedicatory epistle, by Azriel ha-Kohen Peraḥyah, addressed to Isaac Emanuel Belmonte and Solomon Curiel.[1]

The second was the Talmudic treatise Ḥagigah (Amsterdam, 1706), which seems to have formed part of an attempted complete edition of the Babylonian Talmud by various editors.[1]
