Sefer Pri Chadash – Chiddushim on the laws of Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim authored by Rabbi Chizkiya da Silva. Sefer ‘Mayim Chaim’ with a separate title page is included at the end contains chiddushim on Rambam as well as responsa.

Complete Copy! Includes the page from the son of the author, Rabbi David da Silva, written in Portuguese. (The page present here is not listed in the Hebrew Bibliography and is missing in many copies.)
