Bound with: Sefer HaGahot [glosses] on Shulchan Aruch, Pesach laws, of… Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Lithuania”, three sections. By Rabbi Avraham Avli, rabbinical authority of congregation of Kiev, son of Rabbi Naftali of Tulchyn son of Rabbi Menachem Nachum Av Beit Din of Ladyzhyn. Berdichev, 1800 [Sudilkov? c. 1825?]. Only edition.
[21] leaves; [28], 34 leaves. 17.5 cm. Good condition. Few handwritten gloss corrections. Old binding.
Title page of book contains glosses on Shulchan Aruch, noting: Berdichev 1800. However, this is a forgery inasmuch as “in 1800 there was not yet a printing press in Berdichev, and in the book itself, chapter 461, it is stated ‘last year 1823’… the book was therefore printed after 1824, when a printing press in Berdichev was no longer in existence; it appears that it was printed in Sudilkov” (A. Ya’ari, Hebrew Press of Berdichev, Kiryat Sefer, 21, 1944-1945, p. 103).
