Jerusalemite Talmud – Kodshim, Part Two: Chulin, Bechorot, with glosses of the Maharsham of Brezen and commentary on difficult words, and comments, by Shlono Baber. Cheshek Shlomo commentary, by the publisher – Shlomo Yehuda ben Maharam Ha-Sephardi, Friedlander. Saini, 1907.
Approbations: Rabbi Shalom Mordechai Ha-Cohen [Shwadron], Brezen; Rabbi Aryeh Leibish Ha-Levi Ish Horowitz, Stanislav; Rabbi Eliezer Deutsch, Banihad; Rabbi Yehuda Greenwald, Satmer; Rabbi Avraham Binyamin Kluger, Brody; Rabbi Yitzchak Leib Sofer, Drohobycz.
On page before title-page there are a dedication and scholarly notes, written by Rabbi [David Tzvi?] Margaliot.
The Jerusalemite Talmud on Seder Kodshim was lost in the Rishonim's period, and was never printed. In the beginning of the 20th century, a man named Shlomo Friedlander (who also adopted for himself the false identity of a descendant of the Spanish Algazi family) copied, with great talent, all of the citations from Kodshim-Jerusalemite found in works of the Rishonim, together with citations from different Sedarim. He then publicized that he had found an antique manuscript of the missing Jerusalemite Talmud, which was lost in the Rishonim's time. This forgery mislead most of the rabbis and researchers of his time; including the Maharsham, who even wrote glosses to the book which were published in all its parts; the Chaetz Chaim, who began to were Rabeinu Tam tefillin based on this forged Talmud, and more. At the same time, there were rabbis of very sharp perception such as the Kli Chemda and the Rogachover Ga'on, who discovered the forgery and announced it to the public. The polemic over the Jerusalemite Talmud lasted for several years, and books were printed expressing both sides of the argument, (most of the publications siding with the Yerushalmi were written by Friedlander himself, under different names). After the forgery was confirmed, most of the copies were buried.
Many essays were written regarding the polemic, we shall mention but a few: S. HaCchoen Weingarten, Sinai, 62, 1862, pages 281-287; B. Oberlander, Ohr Yisrael, Year Two, 1997, Pamphlet 4; Year Three, 1998, Pamphlets Three-Four; and Year Four, 1999, Pamphlet One; R. Margaliot, Bibliographic notes, Areshet, B, 1960, page 356 no. 1382; ibid., Three, 1966, page 507 no. 1382.
[9], 78; [1], 47 leaves. 35 cm. Dry paper, good-fair condition, Restored damage on margins of some of the leaves. New binding with leather spine.
Rare!
