Teharat HaKodesh. Zolkiew, [1804]. First Edition
Teharat Hakodesh. Tosefta Seder Teharot with commentary by Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna [the GR"A]. Zolkiew, 1804. First edition.
Specifications: [2] 72 leaves. 21 cm. Vinograd, Sifrei HaGR"A, 281.
Background: First edition with the commentary of the GR"A, printed just a few years after his passing. The editor, Rabbi Meir of Vilna, writes in the introduction: "I did not move out of the tent of Torah, the home of Rabbeinu HaGaon HaChassid, the famed ... Eliyahu of Vilna." Despite this statement, the sons of the GR"A objected to this commentary.
Condition: Very fine. Old, marbleized paper binding.
