Ketzot HaChoshen, on Shulchan Aruch Choshen Mishpat Part 1. (Lemberg), [Poland-Russia, 1817]. Second edition, with approbations of Rabbi Moshe Av Beit Din of Zvhil (son of Rebbe Yechiel Michel of Zlotchov and Yampol'), Rabbi Eliezer Auerbach of Dubna and Rabbi Shlomo of Polonne.
Various signatures and inscriptions. Dozens of long and short scholarly glosses in Ashkenazi handwriting [Lithuanian?] from c. 1880s. An erased ancient signature on title page: "…ben Rabbi Yissachar Ber". On the flyleaf is an interesting inscription from the time Sir Montifiore journeyed to Lithuania and to Russia [in 1846]: "We have heard from Vilna that Sir Moshe Montifiore wants to travel to Panevėžys for next Shabbat…and I have paid to rent a carriage to travel to Panevėžys for Shabbat".
[12], 14-86, [1]; 21 leaves. 34 cm. Greenish and blue paper. Fair condition, wear and worm damages. Detached leaves and loose binding. Ancient, worn cardboard and leather binding.
The book was not printed in Lemberg as written on the title page, but in one of the Vohlin (Russia) printing presses. Freidberg writes: [Polonne 1817] but others think that it was printed in Kapust.
