Tzidkath HaTzadik [polemic in defense of R. Tzvi Benjamin Auerbach’s Sepher HaEshkol]. With a German section by Prof. David Tzvi Hoffmann and Abraham Berliner supporting R. Ehrentreu’s position.

A polemic against Shalom Albeck who accused Tzvi Benjamin (Hirsch) Auerbach (1808-72), the Rabbi of Halberstadt, of issuing a forged edition of Sepher HaEshkol by the 12th-century Provencal halachic authority R. Abraham ben Isaac of Narbonne, based upon a manuscript in the collection of Elyakim Carmoly of Frankfurt. S. Levi in his article on R. Ehrentreu in “Men of the Spirit” states, “Ehrentreu’s decisive part in Tsidkat Hatsaddik should be pointed out. This booklet… marshals convincing arguments to refute Shalom Albeck’s accusation that the edition of Sepher Ha-Eshkol by Rabbi Benjamin Hirsch Auerbach… was a forgery” (p. 380).
