summary

This morality book, interweaved with tales and parables, was as popular as the Brant Shpigel (see lot 20). Whereas the latter teaches women how they ought to behave toward their husbands; Lev Tov teaches the Householder how they should appreciate and honor their wives. See Zinberg, pp. 159-64
