Mafteach Hayam [on the number “seven” throughout the Torah, Talmud, etc.]
First edition. Printer's mark on title. ff. 35. With signature of previous owner Binyamin Niderhopheim on title. Browned. Contemporary boards, broken. 4to. Vinograd, Offenbach 119.
Tzvi Spitz, Offenbach: 1788.
From the approbations and introduction, we learn that the author was blind, a disability he fell victim to aged fourteen. Nonetheless, he was imbued with a nimble mind and tremendous ability of recall. See A. Yaari, Mechkarei Sepher (1958) p. 140.
