Classic work! First Edition. Dagul Merevavah by the Noda B'Yehudah, with details regarding the printing of the books, from his son Reb Yisrael, the publisher. Prague 1794. - Title page: ”Chaval al de'avdin vela mishtakchin. This is the Shulchan Aruch that belonged to my master and father ... who was surrounded by his chiddushim like olive saplings. He appointed one of his students to bind them into a volume and the artist was careless and cut all the sheets. I was forced to copy from the Even Ha'ezer which contained a bit of what my father wrote in his old age.” A sheet of paper is pasted to the opposite side of the title page, wherein the printer writes about corrections of mistakes appearing in the title page and introduction. ”The title page and approbations and introduction are being printed in haste and it was impossible to supervise...” Worn antique binding with the front cover detached. The book is falling apart. A few foxing stains. Condition: Good.
