RARE, BIBLIOPHILIC EDITION. PRINTED ENTIRELY ON BLUE PAPER. During the seven years that R. Meir of Rothenburg (Mahara’m) was confined to prison, R. Samson served as his teacher’s attendant. The present work records the customs, rituals and halachic rulings of the Mahara’m during this period. Glosses added by R. Peretz of Corbeil cite the prevalent practice when contrary to the Maharam’s ruling. See Treasures of the Valmadonna Trust Library - Otzroth Ya’akov, Colored Paper no. 7.
