Sidrei Taharot on Tractate Kelim, by Rebbe Gershon Chanoch Henich Leiner, rabbi of Radzin (Radzyń Podlaski). Józefów, 1873. First edition.
Sidrei Taharot is an original, comprehensive and brilliant work on Tractate Kelim. Since there is neither Babylonian nor Jerusalem Talmud on Tractate Kelim, the author compiled a kind of Gemara, comprised of all the teachings in the Babylonian Talmud, Jerusalem Talmud and Midrashim pertaining to each Mishnah in this tractate. The text of the Mishnah and "Gemara" are flanked by two commentaries from the author and compiler – one lengthy and one brief. The work is also structured in a similar style to that of the Talmud.
A great controversy arose at the time surrounding this work. Concerned that a composition so closely resembling the Gemara might eventually be mistaken as an integral part of the Talmud, some of the rabbis of Vilna issued a public statement against it. On the other hand, the work earned the approbations of many of the leading Torah scholars of the generation.

This volume is the only one published in the lifetime of the author, R. Natan of Breslov (1780-1844). R. Natan's writings were arranged for print by his close disciple, R. Nachman Chazan of Tulchyn (1813-1884), who with great devotion copied the writings of his teacher R. Natan, preparing them for print, and publishing them. R. Nachman's son, R. Avraham of Tulchyn, author of Biur HaLikutim, describes his father's dedication to the task of preparing the books for print, and attests that his father merited feeling Divine Inspiration during the course of his work.

This is a very rare variant, with printer's name on title page: "Printing press of the influential R. Yisrael Avraham Madpis Segal". Other copies of Part I with the name of the printer are unknown (Gershom Scholem wrote on his own private copy that he saw Part II with the name of this printer). The name of the printer, R. Yisrael Avraham Segal, is known from other books printed in his printing press in Iași in 1843 (see: Yitzchak Yudlov, "First edition of Likutei Halachot, Orach Chaim, by R. Natan Sternhartz", Kiryat Sefer, 1988-1989, p. 934).
