Jerusalem Talmud (forged) - Order Kodashim, with the Cheshek Shlomo commentary, published by Shlomo Yehudah Friedlander. Part I: Zevachim and Arachin, Part II: Chullin and Bechorot. Szinérváralja (Seini), [1906]-1909.
"Picture of the manuscript" on verso of the first title page of Part I.
The Jerusalem Talmud on Order Kodashim was lost during the time of the Rishonim and was never printed. In the early 20th century, a Shlomo Friedlander (who assumed the false identity of a descendant of the Sephardi Algazi family) copied all the citations from the Jerusalem Talmud on Order Kodashim he found in the works of the Rishonim, skillfully combining them with passages from the other Orders of the Jerusalem Talmud, and claimed that he had discovered an ancient manuscript of the lost Jerusalem Talmud.
Friedlander's forgery was at first a great success. Many rabbis and researchers believed the work to be authentic, such as the Maharsham who wrote glosses to the work, published in both parts, and the Chafetz Chaim who began to don Rabbenu Tam Tefillin in light of a passage in the book. However, others, such as the Kli Chemda and the Rogatchover Gaon, realized that the work was a forgery and made this public. The polemic surrounding the Jerusalem Talmud on Order Kodashim lasted several years, with books published in support of both arguments (most of the publications arguing for the authenticity of the book were written by Friedlander himself, under various pseudonyms). After the forgery was confirmed, most copies were buried.
