Binyamin Ze'ev Responsa - Venice, 1539 - Handwritten Glosses by the Author Rabbi Binyamin ben Matatya of Arta

Lacking copy: the copy before us contains leaves 131-575. The end is complete.
The book caused a great polemic. About the author, his book and the polemic regarding it, see the comprehensive research of Meir Benayahu in his book "Mavo La'Sefer Binyamin Ze'ev" (Jerusalem, 1989), which contains about 250 pp. on the subject.
On page 161 of the above book, Benayahu states that there are several corrections in Romaniote script and they appear in the same handwriting in all copies, leaving no doubt that they were handwritten by Rabbi Binyamin.

The handwritten corrections that appear in the copy before us are on leaves 210, 260, 337, 339, 405, 456 (a large addition of 14 lines), 501. (For a detailed description of the corrections, please see Hebrew description)
