Korei Be'emet by Rabbi Yitzchak Dov Bamberger of Würzburg First Edition. Frankfurt am Main, 1871. - Sefer Korei Be'emet, Part I: A commentary on the ”Al Tikrei” homiletical interpretations found throughout the Talmud, by the eminent Rabbi Yitzchak Dov HaLevi Bamberger of Würzburg. A distinctive and original scholarly work. First edition, published during the author's lifetime. Frankfurt am Main, 1871. In his introduction, the author notes that he was aware of only two works devoted specifically to the Talmudic ”Al Tikrei” expositions: Shivrei Luchot, by the holy Rabbi Yechiel Michel of Nemirov (Lublin, 1680), which the author himself had never seen because of its extreme rarity. He even expresses doubt as to whether it had ever actually been printed, were it not for the testimony of the author of Seder HaDorot, who records that it had indeed been published. Another work by Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac, formerly among the scholars of the rabbinical academy in Lemberg (Lviv) and later a resident of Constantinople, which, according to the author, was never printed.  [1], VII, 70 pages. 20 cm.
