Lot 248
Artzot HaChaim by the Malbim
Artzot HaChaim, on Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, by Rabbi Meir Leibush Malbim, Part 1, Simanim 1-24. [Breslau, 1837]. First edition. The Malbim's first book that made him world-famous and merited an enthusiastic approbation from the Chatam Sofer who writes that his words are "built on blocks of understanding and are close to Torah's truth". This book that ends with the laws of tzizit, is referred to dozens of times in the Mishna Brura and in books of Jewish law. Scholarly glosses by two or three writers, the first from the time of printing and the second is signed Moshe Chaim [apparently, Rabbi Moshe Chaim Kriviansky of Bielsk, 1864-1925, who served at the end of his life as secretary of dayanim in Jerusalem, see attached material].

Bound with: Chidushei HaRav HaMe'eri, on Tractate Beitzah, Berlin, 1859.
