Api Ravreve, Shulchan Aruch, Even Ha’Ezer. With Chelkat Mechokek, Beit Shmuel, Be’er HaGolah and “Bi’ur HaGa’on” “our esteemed mentor and teacher Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna”, Vilnius and Horodna, [1819]. First complete edition.
The Vilna Ga’on’s commentary on Even Ha’Ezer was first printed in partial form in Horodna, without a title page and only until chapter 26. In 1819 the partner printers of Vilnius and Horodna printed the 188 remaining leaves of the book and added to it the pamphlets which were already printed in the past [as apparent in this copy; upon different paper with different letters], including chapter of approbations and introductions.
Chapters of this edition have several differing variants. See Treasury of Books of Vilna Ga’on no. 754, [photocopies of various chapters appear there on page 333].
Four pages, 5-61 leaves; 188 leaves. 39 cm. Good-fair condition, wear and minor stains. Torn and antique leather binding.
