Sefer Yam Shel Shloime .  ים של שלמה. Rav Shloime Luria .  Tractate Yom Tov .  Fuerda .  1748 

First print in Fuerda, printed prior in  Lublin in 1636, and again in Ofibach in the year 1728. Yam Shel Shlomo, Luria's major work of Halacha, was written on sixteen tractates of the Talmud; however, it is extant on only seven. In it, Maharshal analyzes key sugyos (passages) and decides between various authorities as to the practical halacha. Maharshal, famously, objected to Isserles's method of presenting halachic rulings without discussing their derivation. He wrote Yam Shel Shlomo to "probe the depths of the halacha" and to clarify the process by which those halachot are reached. Front page boasts an interesting signature with an unusual script for the title Yam Shel Shloime. Thick yellow paper faded at edges, binding seems to be the original. Cover decorated with hand painted red curved lines and egg shaped designs. Cover is faded and torn in some places but binding is strong and durable.
