Otzrot Chaim, a list of the books of Chaim Michel, arranged by Moshe Steinschneider. Hamburg, 1848.
Rabbi Chaim Michel - scholar and bibliographer, author of the Rabbinic dictionary Or HaChaim, owned a large collection of books and manuscripts. After his death, his sons published this book with a detailed bibliographical list of more than 5000 items from his diverse library.
This copy was owned by the bibliographer Rabbi Isaac ben Ya'akov of Vilna (1801-1863, see attached material). He added many glosses and inscription marks. He used the book for his monumental compilation Otzar HaSefarim (Vilna 1877-1880).
Afterward, this copy passed to Shmuel Weiner, also a renowned bibliographer (compiled the bibliography catalogue Kehilat Moshe – Petersburg 1892-1936), who signed his name in the book and wrote on the Forsatz leaf: "This book Ozrot HaChaim belonged to Yitzchak Isaac ben Ya'acov with his glosses and corrections and explanations for his book Otzar HaSefarim". Apparently, some of the glosses are in Weiner's handwriting.
[2], XIV, 378 pages 19 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Moth marks. Detached leaves and binding. Worn cardboard binding.
