Sefer Yam Shel Shlomo on tractate Yevamos signed by Rabbi Shmuel HaLevi Kellin–Boskovice, author of Machatzis Hashekel.
Rabbi Shmuel HaLevi's signature is located on the right-hand corner of page [2] at the start of the sefer. Underneath, he is joined by his son, Rabbi Wolf Boskovice - author of Seder Mishnah, and Rabbi Wolf’s son, Rabbi Yosef Boskovice.
This sefer Yam Shel Shlomo on tractate Yevamos is a first edition published in Altona, 1739. It includes an endorsement by Rabbi Yaakov Emden where he proves the attribution of the sefer to its author.
