Maaseh Rav, practices of the Gaon of Vilna, by R. Yissachar Dov Ber of Vilna. Lviv, 1833. Second edition.
This edition has many differences in comparison to the first edition printed in Vilna and Horodna in 1832, and it is (presumably) an earlier version of the work, prepared for print by the author in 1817. See: R. Dovid Kamenetsky, Torat HaGra, p. 175 onwards.
Signatures on the title page and final leaf: " Shmuel Heller" – R. Shmuel Heller (1786-1884), a leading Torah scholar and a physician, well versed in secular wisdoms, he was raised in the home of the Chozeh of Lublin and immigrated to Eretz Israel upon his advice. He served as rabbi of Safed for sixty years (see: HaRav HaManhig VehaRofeh, Safed 1989 for his biography and the history of the Safed settlement).
[1], 2-15, [1] leaves. 17 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains. Minor tears. Leaves trimmed with damage to headings (and edge of text on several leaves). New binding.

Maaseh Rav, practices of the Gaon of Vilna, by R. Yissachar Dov Ber, posek in Vilna. "Zhovkva, 1808" [Lviv? after 1833]. Presumably third edition.
The imprint on the title page reads: "Juda Meyerhoffer 1808 in Zolkiew". The date is unquestionably false, since the title page mentions the author as rabbi of Vilna, a position he received only in 1817. The place of printing may also be false. This edition was printed leaf by leaf after the Lviv 1833 edition (which was an earlier version of this composition, see previous item).
[1], 2-15, [1] leaves. 18 cm. Good condition. Stains, wear and several tears. New binding.
