Kether Shem Tov [commentary to the Pentateuch]. With glosses by Samuel ben Dayasuss

The Shlomo Fisher Copy. Born 1851, preacher in Munich, and from 1892 rabbi of Carlsburg, Fisher was a disciple of Rabbi Abraham Benjamin Schreiber (“Kethav Sopher) in Pressburg, and author “Korbani Lachmi.” He was the father of Aaron Fisher, a close confidant of R. Shlomo Eliezer Alfandari (“Saba Kadisha”) and of R. Chaim Joseph Sonnenfeld, and served as legal advocate of the Eidah Chareidis in Jerusalem; he was the grandfather of Dayan Ya’akov Yisrael Fisher of Jerusalem, recently deceased, and of his younger brother, R. Shlomo Fisher, prominent rosh yeshivah and author “Beith Yishai.” See N.Z. Friedmann, Otzar Harabanim, p.384, no. 18576. The highly wrought title-page of the present work was a hallmark of the Zanetti family of printers. The author was a preacher in the Greek communities of Lepanto and Patras. The introduction was written by his disciple Shalom Sagalmasi of Lepanto. The final two leaves contain an index of the author's more extensive comments on statements by Rashi, Nachmanides, Joseph Albo, Maimonides, etc
