Responsa of Rabbi Akiva Eger – First Edition – Warsaw, 1834
Responsa of R. Akiva Eger, Sefer HaPesakim (halachic rulings) and Part I of Sefer HaKetavim (explanations of Talmudic topics). Warsaw, 1834. Two title pages.
First edition printed during the lifetime of the author, R. Akiva Eger, who requested of his sons to print it "on nice paper, in black ink and fine typeface, because, in my opinion, the soul reacts and the mind and concentration are awakened when studying from a fine and elegant book" (from the foreword). This book was indeed printed on thick, high-quality paper, manufactured especially for this printing (the watermarks of the paper bear the name of the manufacturer and the name of the customer "Eiger").
[2], 222 leaves. 33 cm. Thick high-quality paper, greenish in part. Good condition. Stains. Worming, slightly affecting text on last leaves. Stamps. New binding.
