summary

Published as an addendum to his Shas Ha’gadol She’ba’gedolim (London, 1919), this volume contains additional unpublished manuscript material not published elsewhere; viz: manuscript notes of R. Joseph Saul Nathanson of Lemberg; Mekor Baruch by R. Chaim Baruch of Lentchna, a disciple of R. Jonathan Eybescheutz; R. Meir Jechiel of Ostravtsa and his son R. Jechezkel. A most outspoken nonconformist, Joseph Shapotshnick was a prolific author on a host of subjects (including science, psychology and music). For more on this maverick English rabbi see H. Rabinowicz, A World Apart: The Story of the Chasidim in Britain (1997) pp.56-66

pp. 100. Few light stains in places. Contemporary royal-blue roan backed cloth boards, rubbed at extremities. Elephant Folio
