Halichot Olam, Talmudic methodology, by R. Yeshua HaLevi of Tlemcen, with an introduction to Talmud by R. Shmuel HaNagid. Venice: [Giovanni di Farri and Brothers], 1544.
The author, R. Yeshuah HaLevi, was an early Algerian Torah scholar. In his preface to the present book, he writes that he fled to Spain in 1467 and settled in Toledo, where he composed this book, which became a classic work on Talmudic methodology.
The introduction to Talmud printed at the end of the book is mistakenly attributed on the title page to R. Shmuel HaNagid.
