Manuscript of Rabbi Sholomo of Dubna. [Berlin, between 1772-1881].
Copy of glosses written by the Ga'on author of the Tosfot Yom Tov in margins of the book Imrei Shefer on the Torah [by Rabbi Natan Shapiro], in the handwriting of Rabbi Shlomo of Dubna.
Contains six lengthy glosses by the author of the Tosfort Yom Tov [apparently only some of the glosses were printed]. Lengthy bibliographic passage by Rabbi Shlomo of Dubna on the book Imrei Shefer preceding the glosses.
Rabbi Shlomo of Dubna (1731-1813) was a meticulous Torah scholar and author. In his youth, he studied under the author of Mirkavat HaMishna. He resided in Berlin, where he composed part of the Be'ur [explanation] for Mendelson's work on Chumash Bereishit.. After discovering Mendelson's enlightenment objective, he separated from him, and had his own portion of the commentary printed separately.. He received enthusiastic approbations from the giants of the generation, including: the G'aon Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, the Noda BeYehuda, the Ga'on Rabbi Eliezer Kalir, the Ga'on Rabbi Yedidya Tiah Weil and others (for additional detailed information see: Articles of Rabbi David Kaminetzki, Yeshurun, volumes 8-10).
[3] pages. 17 cm. Bound [with pamphlet of blank leaves].
