Responsa Divrei Chaim, responsa on the four parts of Shulchan Aruch. Lviv, 1875. First edition. Two parts in two volumes.
Many of the responsa printed in Responsa Divrei Chaim pertain to questions of agunot. It is reported about the Divrei Chaim that "when he needed to sign a responsum regarding an agunah… he practiced much asceticism and immersions before affixing his signature to the permit". This was his practice when writing responsa to questions he received, and also in his final years, when he began arranging his responsa for print.
On the title page of part I, stamp of R. Benzion Wesel Rabbi of Turda. Several glosses in both volumes, presumably in his handwriting.
