Halachah Acharonah and Kuntress HaRe'ayot, with Sefer HaPardes, by R. Aryeh Leib Epstein. Königsberg, [1759-1762]. Approbation by the Gaon of Vilna.
On leaf 9 of the first sequence, approbation by the Gaon of Vilna, with the heading: " Approbation by… R. Eli. son of R. Shlomo Zalman, who sits in the assembly of the wise in the Beit Midrash of Vilna". This is one of the only two approbations ever given by the Gaon of Vilna.
R. Aryeh Leib Epstein published his works in parts (individual booklets) over the years 1759-1762, interrupting the printing every now and then due to lack of funding or other difficulties, as he writes in several places in this book. Some of his works were not completed in print. The works he managed to print were bound together in different ways, creating various variants of this book (R. Aryeh Leib concurrently printed a parallel edition in smaller format). See Bibliography of the Hebrew Book.
The works in this book deal with various topics: laws and kavanot of the 613 mitzvot, halachic novellae, sermons and eulogies delivered by R. Aryeh Leib (1729-1734), and more.
The present book has two title pages. The first title page states: "This is the book Halachah Acharonah and Kuntress HaRe'ayot". The first three leaves contain a preface, approbations and a sample of Sefer HaPardes. Leaves 9-14: additional approbations, including the approbation by the Gaon of Vilna, preface to the book Or HaShanim – Mahadura Batra, and a sample of the book. Leave 15-42: Kuntress HaRe'ayot. This is followed by a second title page, for "Sefer HaPardes… followed by Sefer HaDerushim, followed by Sefer Hespedim, including Sefer Yalkut Sachar VeOnesh".
Leaf 8 of Sefer HaPardes features a letter of responsum from R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz. In his introduction to the letter, the author mentions the polemic between R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz and R. Yaakov Emden.
Signatures and stamps of the Moses family of Biala on the first title page: signatures of "Moshe Moses"; "Yudel Moses"; stamp of "Yudel son of R. A.Z. Moses of Biala" (the Moses family of Biala was a wealthy family of community leaders, including R. Alexander Ziskind Moses and his son R. Yudel, who were followers and disciples of the Seraf of Kotsk. See enclosed material).
[1], 3, 9-42 leaves; [1], 2-9; 1-23; 1-22; 81-86, 127-144 leaves. 20.5 cm. Condition varies. Stains, wear and tears. Open tears and worming, affecting text. Margins trimmed close to headings on some leaves. Most leaves professionally restored with paper and remargined. New binding.

Darchei Noam, wonderful composition on the teachings of Rabba Bar Bar Chana, using various approaches, by R. Shmuel son of R. Eliezer of Kalvarija. Königsberg, [1764]. Approbation by the Gaon of Vilna.
The approbation by the Gaon of Vilna was printed on the verso of the title page, with the heading " The great luminary… G-dly man, the renowned R. Eli. Chassid of Vilna". This is one of the only two approbations ever given by the Gaon of Vilna.
The approbation, written on 25th Sivan 1762, contains a blessing for the author: "May he succeed in publishing it, with G-d's will, to revive many people and grant them the merit of seeing the pleasantness of G-d…".
In this book, the teachings of Rabba Bar Bar Chana were explained according to the Derash, Remez and Sod approaches. The author writes in his preface that the Redemption is contingent on the study of Torah using all four approaches: Peshat, Remez, Derash and Sod, and especially on the study of Kabbalah, "as stated in the Zohar, that in the merit of the study of the Zohar, we will be redeemed from exile…". In this preface, the author also makes messianic calculations, and writes that the year 5541 [1780-1781] is the year of the Redemption (see: Aryeh Morgenstern, Messianic Calculations in the Book Darchei Noam, in his book Mistika UMeshichiyut, pp. 125-130).
2, 117 leaves. 19.5 cm. Fair condition. Stains (including dampstains) and wear. Worming, affecting text of some leaves, primarily first leaves (repaired in part). Leaves trimmed close to text, affecting text on some leaves. Owner's signature and censor's stamp on title page. New binding.
