IGERET BIKORET – RABBI CHAYUT – PRESSBURG 1853
Igeret Bikoret is a book which is a study of translations and midrashim by Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Chayut. With additions, glosses and comments by Rabbi Yaakov Brill, Rabbi of the Katyn community. Includes a recommendation letter from the author.
There is a handwritten dedication in the inner side of the cover (in Latin letters). The dedication was not researched, and was possibly written by the author or the editor.
Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Chayut (1806-1856) was one of the geniuses of his generation. Aside from his righteousness and devoutness, he also had a broad general education. He served as the Rabbi of Zhovkva and later as the Rabbi of Kalish. He corresponded frequently with the Chatam Sofer. Rabbi Chayut wrote many books, many in defense of the Torah and Jewish tradition. He was known for his commentaries on the Babylonian Talmud and his work, Mevo Hatalmud, which was printed in the Vilna edition of the Talmud.
43 pages. Soft cover.
Condition: Excellent.
