Shut Divrei Chaim. Sanz. First Edition in the Author's Lifetime. Lviv, 1875

Shut Divrei Chaim, two sections, published by 'אנכי הצעיר והדל בישראל בקראי שמי חיים הרב דק' צאנז' (i the young... Chaim the Rav of Sanz]. First Edition. Lviv, 1875.


Shut Divrei Chaim published in its author's lifetime, with his full name written at its beginning; previously, Divrei Chaim on Hilchot Mikva'ot was published without the author's name at the beginning. 


In this Shut Divrei Chaim, due to the author's modesty, his first name was written without any superlatives. Beneath it, it is written that it was edited by his grandsons, the rabbis Shlita. 

Maran of Sanz in his short introduction writes that he saw in the Seforim Hakdoshim that it is appropriate to distribute Chidushei Torah and 'not  hide them', possibly referring also to his name. 

Copy of the Chassid Rabbi Baruch David Kahana of Safed, who signed his name several times on the book, noting he is a disciple of the author Maran of Sanz and of Maran Rabbi Yechezkel of Shinova. 


[2], 134, [4], 120 leaves. Very brittle leaves. Without the front board. Partly original binding. Poor-fair condition.  


Measurement:  34 cm
