SEFER HAMITZVOT [BOOK OF MITZVOT] WITH NOVELLAE BY THE MAHARDAM. FIRST EDITION. A COPY BELONGING TO RABBI AZRIEL HILDESHEIMER
Sefer Ha'Mitzvot (Book of the 613 Commandments) by Maimonides, with the Mahardam's novellae by Rabbi Duberush Meizlish, the rabbi of Warsaw. Warsaw 1871.
On the title-page appears the handwritten signature of Rabbi Azriel Hildesheimer (1820-1899), one of the leaders of Ashkenazi Jewry, founder and head of the Beit Midrash for Rabbis in Berlin, and the rabbi of the Orthodox community in Berlin. There is also a handwritten dedication by the author's grandson, Rabbi Yehuda Aryeh Meizlish, to Rabbi Hildesheimer:
"This book is a gift sent to the Rabbi, great in pure piety, our scholarly teacher and Rabbi Azriel, Dr. Hildesheimer, rabbi of the religious community in Berlin, as a souvenir and symbol of love and respect by the author's grandson Yehuda [Aryeh Meizlish]."
Very good condition.
