MAHARAL of PRAGUE. Sefer Netivot Olam . FIRST EDITION. Prague 1595-96.

Sefer Nesivos OIlam on Ethics, by Rabbi Judah ben Bezalel Loewe "Maharal of Prague". Printed during his lifetime.  The most concentrated treatment of the MaHaRa”L’s comments on matters of ethical interest. 

 Prague 1595-96. Gershom ben Bezalel Katz.
131 ff. Browned and foxed. Excellent condition. ff 98 & 103 are lacking and instead ff. 99 & 102 were printed twice. This is noted on the bottom of these 2 pages in a very old handwriting, perhaps from the time of the publishing itself. 

As known, the Kozhnitzer Maggid admired the seforim of the Maharal, and even had his disciple Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Muskat print reprint several of them.
