Tzilota D'Avraham, called Chidushei Maharma, novellae on the Talmud, by Rabbi Moshe Avraham Abush. [Sudilkov, 1811, should be 1821]. Only edition.
The author Rabbi Moshe Avraham Abush Margaliot (1720-1802), an outstanding Torah genius who served in the rabbinate of Horodenka and Żabno, brother of Rabbi Meir Margaliot, author of “Meir Netivim” (a disciple of the Besht). People of his generation said in his praise that his sharpness and Torah knowledge were comparable to that of the Shach, and on this book they said that he is "deep like the Maharam Schiff" (see the approbation of Rabbi Moshe HaLevi Horowitz). Rebbe David Shlomo Eibeshitz, author of “Arvei Nachal” and “Levushei Srad”, who married his granddaughter copied and edited the book from his handwriting and added many novellae and explanations of his own.
A fine form on bluish paper. [1], 99 leaves. 31 cm. Good condition, stains, few moth marks, one leaf has a hole with minor damage to text. Moth damage professionally restored on title leaf. New semi-leather binding.
The year 1811 is mistaken since the approbations are from 1820-1821. In the bibliographic listings, the place of printing was listed as Ostrog, but Rabbi Lieberman already proved that the book was printed in Sudilkov (see Ohel Rachel Vol. 1, p. 459). In this copy, a difference in the printing exists [the address "under the government of our Sovereign, the Emperor…" was omitted which is found in other copies on both sides of the title page decorations].
Stefansky Chassidut, no. 499.
