Kitzur Shulchan Aruch by Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried, “new edition with many additions and revisions by the genius author… accompanied by Michseh La’Ohel pamphlet… revisions of book Ohalei Shem”. Lemberg, 1884.
In his book "Ohalei Shem", the author Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried critiqued the book "Divrei Chaim" by the Rebbe Rabbi Chaim of Sanz. As a response, Rabbi Mordechai Eliezer Weber of Ada published a polemic booklet by the name of "Milchemet Chova" [Jerusalem 1882]. In this leaf Rabbi Ganzfried addressed his critique. As a response to "Micseh La’Ohel" the polemic continued with the printing of additional controversial pamphlets: "Edut Shoshanim" (Jerusalem 1885), "Ofel U’Bochan" printed in c. 1890 (Jerusalem, post 1885).
This edition of "Kitzur Shulchan Aruch" is extremely rare and was not listed in Bibliography Institute CD. [Due to this rarity S. HaLevi estimated the date of printing of "Michseh La’Ohel" pamphlet as 1889, and according to this dated the printing of "Ofel U’Bochan" pamphlet as c. 1890 – which turns out to be erroneous, based upon this copy].
[4], 139, [1] leaves. 21 cm. Dry paper, fair condition. Worn binding.
