summary

Although this work is adorned with a laudatory approbation from the Rabbi of Lemberg, Jacob Orenstein (author “Yeshuoth Yaakov,”) Ma’adanei Asher was later pronounced a forgery, purloined, word for word, from R. Solomon Chelma’s Shulchan Atzei Shitim (Berlin 1762). (See Friedberg, M-2723)
ff. [2], 60. Slight staining. Previous owner’s stamp - Chaim Aryeh Horowitz, Rabbi of Zolkiew later in Krakow, author of responsa Chayei Aryeh and Tikun Eiruvin. Later boards
