summary

Rare and important first edition. The super-commentary by the Maharsh’a (1555-1631) is indispensable to a proper understanding of Tosaphoth, the medieval French commentary to the Talmud. Two Torah giants of the 20th-century were well known to propound that: The Chazon Ish and R. Chaim Soloveitchik of Brisk.

ff. 50. Browned and stained, previous owner’s marks. Contemporary vellum over thick wooden boards, worn in places. Sm. 4to.
