summary

This work provides the underlying concepts of the precepts. Of interest see f. 47b, no. 361, stating that since the great rabbinic leaders were wont to kiss the ground of Eretz Israel, from this one can infer one should also kiss even paper that derives from Eretz Israel. The Author was admired by the Vilna Gaon who provided approbations to some of his works. See Vinograd, Otzer Siphrei HaGr"a p. 174

ff. 48. Previous owners' marks, some wear. Contemporary vellum. Sm. 8vo
