Binyan Ariel. Amsterdam, 1778. Copy Received from the Author
Novellae on the parashiyot, Chamesh Meggilot, holidays and festivals; Talmudic novellae and responsa, by Rabbi Shaul [Lowenstam], av beit din of Amsterdam and grandson of the Chacham Tzvi. Amsterdam, 1778. First edition. Two parts.
First edition of the sefer by Rabbi Shaul of Amsterdam - renowned rabbi of Amsterdam and one of the leading rabbis of his generation. Part II has a separate title page. The "building" is divided into "homes" and "rooms" and the novellae on Torah are entitled "Chadrei Torah"; on holidays, "Beit Moed"; and on Sha"s, "Beit Talmud."
Part II, leaf 30, bears a responsum from the author's brother, Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch, av beit din of Berlin, with respect to "whether one can rely on what you found in a specific sefer just reprinted by one of the current gedolei hador to permit shaving on Chol HaMoed by a poverty-stricken worker." This is obviously referring to the Noda BiYehudah's responsum. The author and his brother vigorously disagree with this ruling. Out of respect for the Noda BiYehudah, they do not mention him by name.
The Chid"a met the author the same year the sefer was printed. In Shem HaGedolim, he wrote about him: "I, the insignificant, had the merit of receiving the Shechinah in 1778 when I was on a mitzvah mission. I had the privilege of being influenced by his Torah, his humility and his perfection."
This copy was received as a gift from the author. The recipient wrote the following on the flyleaf in beautiful print lettering: "This sefer was given as a gift by our honorable master, teacher and rabbi, the great and famed gaon, the light of the Diaspora, Rabbi Shaul ... av beit din and lecturer here in Amsterdam.
[6], 36; 40; 42 leaf. As in many copies, without the [2] leaves of indices at the end of Part I, and without the supplements at the end of Part II. 30 cm.
Fine condition. Tear without lack in the text in leaf 6 and in leaf 15. Stains. Dismantled binding.
