<<Rare and important first edition.>> The super-commentary by the Maharsh’a (1555-1631) is indispensable to a proper understanding of Tosaphoth, the medieval French commentary to the Talmud. Two Torah giants of the 20th-century were well known to propound that: The Chazon Ish and R. Chaim Soloveitchik of Brisk.
