[Jeßnitz: Yisrael son of Avraham, 1723 – first edition printed in the author's lifetime, as an addendum to the book Yam shel Shlomo].
Copy of R. Wolf Boskowitz, with his signature and stamps on the title page. Brief glosses, presumably in his handwriting. Lengthy German inscriptions on the front endpaper. Other inscriptions and stamps.
R. Binyamin Ze'ev Wolf HaLevi Boskowitz (1740-1818), prominent Hungarian rabbi, son of the Machatzit HaShekel. He was held in high esteem by the leading Torah scholars of his time, including the Noda BiYehuda, the Chatam Sofer and R. Akiva Eger.
The present work, later printed independently under the title Kuntres R. Chaim Yonah, was composed by R. Chaim Yonah Teomim (ca. 1690-1695 – 1728). The book was received by the leading halachic authorities as a classic work on laws of Nezikin. R. Chaim Yonah was the son and successor of R. Feivel Teomim Rabbi of Breslau. His work Seder Mishneh on Rambam laws of Sanhedrin and testimony was only published from a manuscript in 1981.
Interestingly, R. Wolf Boskowitz, owner of this volume, also authored a book on the Rambam titled Seder Mishneh.
