Based upon the work Mechkarei Eretz by Shlomo Levison, but re-worked and edited by Kaplan. In his lengthy, scientific explanation of the Vilna Gaon's commentary, Kaplan critcizes M. Jost, the editor of the German translation of the Mishnah for misunderstanding the Gr”a’s commentary (see pp. 31-38)

Part I - pp. 40, 188, (10), (index misbound). Part II - (8), 262, (12). Contemporary calf, worn, spine removed. 8vo
