Two First Editions of Tosefta with Textual Corrections by the Gaon of Vilna
Two editions of Tosefta with textual corrections by the Gaon of Vilna:
1. Tosefta on Order Zera'im, with a commentary by R. Yonah son of Gershon of Vilna, who integrated textual corrections by the Gaon of Vilna in his commentary. Vilna, 1799. First edition.
The title page reads: "…with some textual corrections which I found… I have heard that they are from the Gaon… R. Eliyahu of our community…". The corrections, integrated within R. Yonah's commentary, open with: "Thus is the text in a manuscript Tosefta". Sh. Lieberman in Tosefta KiPeshuta, vol. I, New York 1955, introduction, p. 16, writes about these corrections: "Undoubtedly the vast majority of them are from the Beit Midrash of the Gaon of Vilna…". R. Kalman Kahana notes that the family of the Gaon of Vilna did not issue a contestation on this edition, and it seems that they also attributed these corrections to the Gaon of Vilna. R. Zundel of Salant however believed that these are not the corrections of the Gaon of Vilna (see: Thesaurus of the Books of the Vilna Gaon, p. 55; R. Dovid Kamenetsky, Torat HaGra, pp. 398-400).
122 leaves. Approx. 20 cm. Good condition. Stains. Minor damage. Stamps and handwritten inscriptions. Original binding, back board detached, without spine. Worming to binding.

2. Tosefta Order Nashim (Part II), with the Tanna Tosfaa commentary by R. Shmuel Avigdor Tosfaa of Karlin, and with textual corrections by the Gaon of Vilna. Vilna, 1837. First edition.
The author writes in his preface (at the beginning of Part I) that while he was bringing his work to print, R. Yaakov Moshe of Slonim, grandson of the Gaon of Vilna, gave him a manuscript with glosses by the Gaon of Vilna on the text of the Tosefta. The glosses also include references and sources by R. Avraham son of the Gaon of Vilna.
Part II (Nashim) was printed before Part I (Zera'im and Moed – see item 70).
[2], 68 leaves. 33 cm. Good condition. Stains. Stamps. New binding.
