1880 HEBREW LAW Shulchan Aruch Yore De’ah Vilnius Lithuania Russia HUGE 3v SET

The Shulchan Aruch, also known as the ‘Code of Jewish Law’, is an extensive collection of legal codes under Rabbinical Judaism. From its appearance in the mid-16^th-century, this work is regularly paired with law commentaries, as is the case with this 1880 edition. The Yoreh De’ah is also found in this work, a section of the law covering lesser aspects of Jewish law such as honoring parents, circumcision, forbidden foods, and studying Torah scrolls.

This particular enormous three-volume set was published in 1880 in Vilnius, Lithuania while it was under Russian control. Census records indicate that the Jewish population approached nearly half of the population in Vilnius at the time of publication. It would be expected that Hebrew law texts such as this be found in Vilnius during the 1880s and 1890s.
