Aaron Abbas


Aaron Abbas was a Jewish editor and printer in Amsterdam, at the beginning of the eighteenth century. He was the publisher of two works:
The first was Aaron [Hakohen Perahyah|Aaron Peraḥyah]'s responsa, known under the name of "Peraḥ Maṭṭeh Aharon", 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.
The second was the Talmudic treatise Ḥagigah, which seems to have formed part of an attempted complete edition of the Babylonian Talmud by various editors.
