Est: $1,000 - $1,500
PRICE REALIZED $750
A deeply learned digest of hundreds of rabbinic responsa on Yoreh Deah, chiefly those issued in the mid-19th century. Apparently intended for personal review, as the last few leaves contain write-ups of Halachic scenarios punctuated by the author’s encouragement to himself - ‘Commit to memory!’.
An anonymous labor of love recording material that would likely have taken years to learn through thoroughly. Includes material from the following (and more):
<<*>> Tuv Taam Veda’as (Lemberg, 1900). <<*>> Shoel U’Meishiv (Multi-volume, Lemberg, 1890). <<*>> Beis Avraham (Koenigsberg, 1853). <<*>> Ma’amar Mordechai (Lemberg, 1852). <<*>> Chassam Sofer. <<*>> Tiferes Zvi (Josefow, 1867). <<*>> Beis Ya’akov. <<*>> Pri Tevu’ah (Nowydwor, 1796). <<*>> Shefa Yehoshua. <<*>> Beis Shlomo (Lemberg, 1892). <<*>> Mayim Chaim (Zhitomir, 1858). <<*>> Ba’i Chai. <<*>> To’efos Re’em (Zolkiew, 1855). <<*>> Mekom Shmuel (Altona, 1738). <<*>> Chesed L’Avraham (Lemberg, 1898).
