Y. Zammer

Furth

1868

First edition. THE AUTHOR’S PERSONAL COPY, WITH HIS EXTENSIVE AUTOGRAPH MARGINAL NOTES AND CORRECTIONS. Bound in at the end are a further 24 pages of Autograph manuscript notes by the author displaying wide erudition.

The author (1835-1918), was the son of R. Seligmann Baer (Isaac Dov HaLevi) Bamberger “the Würzburger Rav.” At the time of publication, R. Solomon Bamberger served as a teacher in the Beth Hamidrash of Sulzberg. Later he was appointed Rabbi of Lengnau (Switzerland) and then served various communities in the Alsace. It is interesting to note that despite his father’s opposition to the secessionist policies of R. Samson Raphael Hirsch, the author received a warm Haskama (approbation) in this work from Rabbi Hirsch (see f. 2a).
