Kitzur Shulchan Aruch. Second Edition, Printed by the Author. Exceptionally Rare


Kitzur Shulchan Aruch by Rabbi Shlomo Gantzfried, second edition with many supplements and revisions by the author. Lemberg, by Avraham Nissan Ziss. 1866.


Second edition of this renowned sefer, first printed by the author in 1864, and printed in hundreds (!) of editions since then. This sefer printed in 1864 saw enormous success, and within a year, almost all the copies were sold. In Sivan 1865, the author printed an announcement in the HaMevaser newspaper published in Lvov. In it, he wrote that the supply has been exhausted and that he wants to publish another edition with "some revisions." He requests that anyone with comments or corrections send them to him. This sefer is the mahadurah tanina the author printed in 1866.

The Bibliographiah mentions a mahadurah tlita'a, also printed in Lemberg by Avraham Nissan Ziss, also extraordinarily rare. However, neither the Mif'al HaBibliographiah nor the Otzar HaSefer HaIvri HaMemuchshav record the second edition. The National Library also does not have this second edition. A search in Worldcat reveals only a copy in the Bar Ilan library.


Even in the period immediately after printing the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, it was said to have achieved the widest circulation ever, second only to the Tana"ch. The author's son-in-law wrote that there was no other sefer printed in so many editions and copies in the author's lifetime. A comprehensive article on this subject is included.
