Edut Be-Ya'akov, by Rabbi Reines – Polemical Glosses
Edut Be-Yaakov on Torah interpretation. Rabbi Yitzchak Ya'akov Reines, Av Beit Din of Swincian. Vilna, 1872. Only edition.
Many handwritten remarks contemporary to the book’s print appear on all of the book’s leaves: polemical conclusions, some of which are scholarly, but mostly bear a satirical tone filled with scornful acuity.
The writer’s name is unclear: the title page bears the name “Ze’ev Izraeltian Sendels”, while the binding page mentions Rabbi “-- Gimpel Zerach Reitzes” as the author of the remarks.
[2], 78 pages. 19.9 cm. Good-fair condition, detached leaves, moth traces. Original torn binding.
