Ele Divrei HaBrit, letters by Torah leaders, "To dissolve the new religion (which few simple people who are not Bnei Torah fabricated customs which do not follow the religion of Moshe and the Jewish people", published by the Beit Din Tzedek of the Hamburg community. Altona, 1819.
The first buds of the Reform movement in Germany began with installing "corrections" into the prayer compositions in the temple in Hamburg. The reformists omitted the prayers for redemption, brought an organ into the temple and initiated prayers in the German language. They based these corrections on Talmudic and rabbinic sources and publicized these references in a book called Nogah HaTzedek – Or Nogah (Dessau 1818) with opinions of their rabbis who justify these corrections.
This book with 22 halachic responses by leading rabbis in Germany, Hungary, Poland and other countries was printed as a rejoinder, and it presents the subject from a halachic aspect and rules that these corrections are completely prohibited. Among the rabbis whose responses appear in this book are Rabbi Ya'akov of Lissa, author of Netivot HaMishpat, Prague rabbis - Rabbi Elazar Flekeles and Rabbi Shmuel Landau, the Chatam Sofer (several letters), the Maharam Bennet, Rabbi Akiva Eiger, Rabbi Meshulam Zalman HaCohen of Furth, author of Bigdei Kehuna, etc.
At first, the Chatam Sofer objected to printing the book because he thought that raising the subject and arguing with the reformists would just strengthen the phenomenon. But afterwards, he admitted that the book had impact and wrote: "In the community of Hamburg, a compilation of letters by Torah leaders of our times has been published and named Sefer Divrei HaBrit and thank G-d, it has brought salvation…".
XVI; 131 pages. 22 cm. Good condition, spotting on some leaves. Contemporary binding, worn.
The book was published in a Hebrew edition and in a German edition (see next item). This is the Hebrew edition.

Dibere Haberith, Briefe der ausgezeichnetsten Rabbiner und Rabbiner-Collegien der vorzüglichsten israelitischen Gemeinden Deutschlands, Pohlen und Italien. Altona, [1819].
"Ele Divrei HaBrit" was published in Altona in 1819 following reform "corrections" carried out by the Hamburg community to prayer compositions and customs, such as bringing an organ into the synagogue, using the German language in prayers and other such changes. These "corrections" were the first signs of the reform movement in Germany. This book contains a collection of letters by Torah leaders who strongly protest the corrections including a letter by Rabbi Akiva Eiger, the Chatam Sofer, Maharam Bennet, etc. This book is the German edition of the same book which was published that same year in Hebrew (see previous item).
[4], 91 pages. 16 cm. Good condition. Few stains.

Sefer Imrei Binah, debate between Kabbalist and researcher, “Will gain the knowledge that Kabbalah and research are interconnected”. [Berlin], 1784.
Owner signature “Moshe Miviller of Venice” from 1807.
This book is one of the well-known plagiarisms of Rabbi Yitzchak (Isaac) Satanow, on title page of book he writes “I found this book in the archaic library of one of the first ministers, in manuscript form with approbations of ancient geniuses, as well as the name of its amazing author”. The book is actually the creation of Yitzchak Satanow, as is the poem upon the title page and the “approbations” of Rabbi Naftali Katz, president of the holy congregation of Safed and Rabbi Sheftel Horowitz, author of Vavei Ha’Amudim. It is likely that the approbations of his contemporary rabbis are plagiarisms as well.
Rabbi Yitzchak (Isaac) Satanow (1732-1804), an unusual, odd, talented figure, an exalted Torah scholar, and founding member of the enlightenment movement. Authored dozens of books, some of which he authored under a “borrowed” identity. Unique manifestation of book plagiarist, who attributes his compositions to ancient authors.
One of most interesting “creations” of plagiarist, Yitzchak Satanov, who in his typical poetic style composed title page, title page poem, approbations and prefaces, as well as the book itself.
[2], 35 leaves. 21 cm. Good condition, foxing and wear. Cardboard binding with leather spine, worn.
Location of printing according to “HaMe’asef”, IV, 1788, pp. 236-237. For additional information related to book and plagiarism, see: S. Weiner, Kehilat Moshe, Peterburg 1893, pp. 93-94, p. 757; Yodea Sefer, p. 27, no. 152; Yisrael Tzinberg, Toldot Hasifrut Yisrael, vol. 5, Tel Aviv 1959, P. 119; Y. Klausner, History of New Hebrew Literature, vol. 1, Jerusalem 1952, p. 168, [according to him only first two approbations are forged].

Divrei Nechemya, Midrashic and kabalistic novellae on the Torah, by Nechemya Chiya Hayun. Berlin, [1713].
On the title page, the word Amsterdam is in large bold letters. At the beginning of the book are approbations by Rabbi David Oppenheim of Prague, Rabbi Gavriel Leib [Eshkeles] Av Beit Din of Nikolsburg, Rabbi Aharon Av Beit din of Berlin and Rabbi Yehuda Leib ben Rabbi Moshe of Głogów.
The author of the book, Nechemya Chiya Hayun (c. 1651-1730), was a scholar and a Shabtai Zvi kabalist, the most prominent Shabtai follower after Shabtai Zvi's death. When Hayun's books reached the Chacham Zvi during the time he served as Rabbi of Amsterdam, he detected words of heresy and the Shabtai philosophy so he decreed a ban on his books and on the author and firmly opposed him. Moshe Hagiz joined the Chacham Zvi in his war against Hayun and they both suffered from persecution by Hayun's supporters in Amsterdam. Hayum used falsehood and deceit to receive the approbations for his books. He used an approbation which he received from Rabbi David Oppenheim for this book, also for his Shabtai-kabbalistic book Oz Le'Elokim together with an approbation which he received from Rabbi Naftali Katz. Later, both Rabbi Oppenheim and Rabbi Katz announced that their approbations are nullified, but Hayum refused to return them. The two publicized their renunciation of their approbations in the book Milchama LaHashem Cherev La by Rabbi Moshe Chagiz (Amsterdam 1614).
Stamps: "Chaim ben Avraham Avli of Ciechanowiec 1736" and "Ya'akov Leib Rosenblum of Ciechanowiec".
[2], 89 [should be 87] leaves, 18 cm. Fair condition. Spotting. Worm holes. Cutoff margins. Tears to title page and to last leaf (with damage to text). Title page is reinforced with paper.
