Novellae by Rabbi Avraham Tiktinsky, Dean of Mir Yeshivah
Novellae on Tractate Gittin, by Rabbi Avraham Tiktinsky, dean of Mir Yeshivah. Written before 1899.
The heading "Talmud Novellae – Gittin" appears in Hebrew on top of all pages; these leaves are probably remainders of a full volume of his novellae. On leaves 129-130, he cites correspondence on these issues with his father, Rabbi Hayim Yehudah Leib, dean in Mir Yeshiva.
Rabbi Hayim Leib Tiktinsky (1824-1899, Otzar Ha-Rabanim 6454) was among Lithuania's foremost scholars, who served as dean of Mir Yeshivah for nearly fifty years (1850-1899). Youngest son of yeshivah's founder, Rabbi Shmuel Tiktinsky. See about him in Toldot Ha-Ga'on Rabbi Hayim Yehudah Leib (Warsaw 1902), and in the book Rabboteinu She-Ba-Golah, pages 106-109.
His son, Rabbi Avraham Tiktinsky (1855-1931, Otzar Ha-Rabanim 450) succeeded his father. Taught in Mir Yeshivah since 1884. Known for both his Talmudic dialectics and his straight logic. When Rabbi Avraham became blind due to illness, he gave over the leadership of the yeshivah to Rabbi Eliyahu Baruch Kamai (father-in-law of Rabbi Lazar Yehudah Finkel), and in 1906 he stopped giving classes in the yeshivah. See more about him in enclosed material.
10 pages, 21 cm. Good condition. Cuts at top corners of pages.
