Ohr Hayoshor. Get of Cleves. First Edition. Amsterdam 1769. Rare.
One of the most contentious divorces in history was the “Get of Cleves” in the mid-18th century, which caused a rift between several rabbinic courts in Western Europe and was the subject of much Halachic debate. The case involved a husband, who at times exhibited signs of mental illness and who gave his wife a get. As a divorce bill can only be given by a sane individual, much analysis and discussion ensued regarding how to classify this individual, as well as the precise definition of insanity, in Halacha.
This work, edited by R. Aaron Shimon of Copenhagen, presents both sides of the dispute and includes responsa by R. Yaakov Emden, the Noda B’Yehuda, the Shaagas Aryeh, R. Shaul of Amsterdam and others.
