Two books bound together - first editions of important responsa printed in the 17th century
*Responsa M as'at Binyamin by R. Binyamin Aharon Selnik. Krakow: Menachem Nachum Meisels, Cheshvan-Shevat 5393 [1632-1633]. First edition. Missing 7 leaves. Wear and damage, with damage to text. Some of the missing text has been added in handwriting [old Ashkenazic handwriting, 17th-18th centuries]. Page 129a contains a long scholarly handwritten gloss contemporary to the printing (17th century). Old ownership signatures from various periods: "I bought this from R. Eliezer -?- the small Yaakov Meir ---?" "Tzvi Hirsch ben R. Moshe Segal from --?- currently living in --?---?", and others.
* Responsa Emunat Shmuel, by R. Aharon Shmuel Kaidanover. Frankfurt-am-Main, 1683. Brought to print by his son, R. Tzvi Hirsch, author of "Kav Hayashar". First edition. Missing last leaf. Ownership signatures from various times. "The small Aryeh L."; "I bought this from R. Eliezer L--? The small Yaakov Meir---?" Page 2b contains the signature "the small Yosef Baruch". The back endpapers contain later date inscriptions: "from the estate of the great and famous rabbi…"; and a long inscription about R. Yehoshua Glikman, rabbi of Sosnowiec, the son-in-law of R. Yehoshua Heschel Horowitz of Checiny and Olkusz, a direct descendent of the Seer of Lublin. His brother-in-law was R. Yosef Baruch Horowitz, rabbi of Checiny (died 1938), evidently the signatory on page 2b in this volume.
