Sephath Emeth [polemic against Michael Levi (Frumkin) Rodkinson.]

First edition. This copy
signed and inscribed by the author to the Chief Shochet of London, R. Nachum Eliyahu Lipman. pp. 64. Stained. Contemporary boards. 8vo.

Ann Abrahams & Son, London: 1879-80.

The author regards Rodkinson's scholarship as not only fraudulent, but that his personal character is quite hypocritical: His demeanor appearing as a Chassid on some occasions, easily changing to that of a heretic at other times.
