MICHTAV ME'ELIYAHU, LAWS OF GITTIN, RABBI ELIYAHU ALFANDARI. CONSTANDINA (CONSTANTINOPLE), 1723. FIRST EDITION. WITH SIGNATURE OF RABBI SHMUEL WEISS
Rabbi Eliyahu Alfandari (d. 1717) was a student of Rabbi Moshe Benbenishti, member of the Constantinople Beit Din and ruled in matters of divorces and agunot (women facing difficulties receiving a divorce). This book and another one, Seder Eliyahu Rabba v'Zuta, deal with these laws.
A handwritten notation appears in the book: "This book belongs to the respected… great light… holy illumination… our teacher and rabbi Shmuel… Weiss, Av Beit in of Vengov."
Rabbi Shmuel Weiss (1858-1919), Av Beit Din of Vengrov, Poland, author of Minchat Shmuel and Divrei Shmuel, wrote many compositions in all areas of Torah.
On the title page appears another signature: "To G-d is the entire world: Shlomo Zalman son of the great Gaon Aryeh."
214 pages, and another included pamphlet of 15 pages.
Condition: Very good. A few stains on the upper margins of the pages. Cover - not original, dissembled.
