YAM SHEL SHLOMO, MAHARSHAL – ALTONA 1740
Yam Shel Shlomo on Tractate Yevamot. The book includes a decorated title page which mentions that the manuscript was passed down for many generations until it reached Rabbi Shlomo Zalman from the city of Greiditz (descendant of the Maharshal), who put in great effort to publish it.
Letters of recommendation from Rabbi Yechezkel Katzenelbogen (Rabbi of the Altona, Hamburg and Wandsbek communities), Rabbi Yaakov Katz (Rabbi of Frankfurt) and Rabbi Tzvi Ashkenazi (the Chacham Tzvi) are included.
There are Torah insights by Rabbi Aharon Katz, publisher of the book, at the beginning and end of the book.
The title page includes an impressive etching of our forefather Yaakov, Moshe Rabbenu, Aharon the Cohen and King David.
The words “Kodesh L’Midrash Sukkat Shalom” appear on the title page in old handwriting, as well as the owner’s name in Sofer Stam – style lettering: “…Refael…of blessed memory.”
96 pages.
