“Lev Merapeh” with dedication of the first compiler to Zion HaRav Meir Fanigel, Jerusalem 1887

Research into halakha alphabetically with commentaries on different issues by the Rav Refael Meir Fanigel HaRishon LeZiyyon. Across from the title page the dedication is printed in gold ink handwritten by the compiler to Rav Gavriel Shabtai (of Jerusalem) and his signature. The compiler: 1804-1893, anointed the Rishon LeZiyyon after Rav Avraham Ashkenazi in 1880, his son-in-law was the Rav Haim Moshe Alisher. In his visit to Tunis in 1863 there was a drought and a year of famine, the rabbis of the area asked him to pray for rain, and before he finished his prayer the skies opened up and plentiful rain fell. He fixed many mistakes of the communities to which he travelled, one of the fixes is printed in this book in its introduction. Generally good condition, defects in the title page with a little damage to the text.
