Writings on matrimonial law. Eliyahu Alfandari was a Constantinople Rabbi in the latter half of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries. Alfandari came from a family of eastern rabbis prominent in the 17th and 18th centuries, members of which resided in Smyrna, Constantinople and Jerusalem. The family originated from Andalusia, with variants of spelling such as Alfandery, Alfandaric and Alfandrec.
Alfandari published two works on matrimonial law: Seder Eliyahu Rabbah VeZutta (The Great and Small Order of Elijah) in 1719, and the work offered here 'Michtav Me'Eliyahu' (A Letter from Elijah) in 1723.
First edition; folio; [2], 214, [2], 15 ll. 18th-century-style boards, old library stamp and inscriptions to title, browning and marginal staining to some leaves.
Vinograd, (Const.) 416; Yaari 306, p.170.
