Mardechai Ben-Abraham Jafb [1]
a famous Jewish author, resided in 1561 at Venice, whence, during a persecution of the Jews, he retreated to Bohemia, and became rabbi in the synagogues of Grodno, Lublin, Kremnitz, and Prague. He is the author of the Lebushim, a series of ten works, which hold a high place in the classics of modern Judaism. The general title of the series is לבוש מלכות , Royal Apparel, from Esther 8:15; and the collection itself is sometimes called לבוש or ספר הלבושים . It consists of
(1) Lebush Tekeleth, or "the Purple Robe;"
(2) Lebush Ha-Chor, or "the White Vestment;"
(3) Lebush Atereth Zahab, or "the Crown of God;"
(4) Lebush Butz Veargaman, or "the Vestment of fine linen and purple;"
(5) Lebush Ir Shushai, or "the Vestment of the City of Shushan." These five treatises turn upon the objects of the ritual codices of the Arba Turim of Jacob ben-Asher (q.v.), and the Shulchan Aruch of Joseph Karo (q.v.). The remaining five lebushinz are exegetical, cabalistic, and philosophical. See Furst, Bibl.
