Commentary of the Gaon of Vilna on Shir HaShirim – Two Important Editions – Warsaw 1842 / 1886
Commentary of the Gaon of Vilna on Shir HaShirim, two different editions with textual variations to the commentaries, based on different manuscripts:
1. Shir HaShirim, with Rashi and two commentaries by the Gaon of Vilna. Warsaw, 1842.
This edition contains two commentaries on Shir HaShirim by the Gaon of Vilna. The foreword informs that the first commentary is intended for everyone, whilst the second commentary is geared to Torah scholars. The first commentary (referred to in the foreword as "commentary a") was previously published in Prague 1811 under the title Michtav Eliyahu, yet with errors, variations and omissions. In this edition, the commentary was printed in its full, emended version. Alongside it is a second commentary (referred to in the foreword as "commentary b"). This is the first edition of the second commentary.
The foreword states that the manuscript of both commentaries by the Gaon of Vilna was in the possession of R. Yechezkel and R. Tuviah grandsons of the Gaon of Vilna (sons of R. Yehuda Leib, son of the Gaon of Vilna), and they gave it to the publisher.
• Bound with: Kerem Shlomo, novellae on Shulchan Aruch and the Talmud, by R. Shlomo Aharon Zelig. Warsaw, 1841.
Two books bound together. Shir HaShirim: [30] leaves. Kerem Shlomo: [5], 37; 6 leaves. 23.5 cm. Good condition. Stains. Several minor tears. Minor worming to first leaves of Shir HaShirim and to endpapers. Old, damaged binding, with significant worming.
Vinograd, Thesaurus of the Books of the Vilna Gaon, no. 151.
2. Megillat Shir HaShirim, with commentaries by the Gaon of Vilna and the Arizal. Warsaw, 1886.
The manuscript of the commentary of the Gaon of Vilna printed in this edition was in the possession of R. David Luria.
In this edition, the two commentaries by the Gaon of Vilna were combined into one commentary, with many additions. A third, kabbalistic commentary by the Gaon of Vilna was printed on the beginning of the Megillah (on chapter I and on the first 7 verses of chapter II). The Be'er Avraham commentary to the first four chapters, by R. Avraham son of the Gaon of Vilna, was added at the end of the book.
104 pages. 22 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor damage. Original binding, worn, with leather spine. Significant worming to binding.
