Classic: Ohr Zaru’a. Complete Set. Zhitomir Yerusholayim 1862- 1890. First Edition. Classic work of novella on the Talmud and halachic responsa by R. Yitzchak ben Moshe of Vienna. R. Yitzchak ben Moshe of Vienna (died 1260), commonly known as the Ohr Zaru’a, was one of the greatest Ashkenazi Rishonim. He lived in Wurzburg and later in Vienna. His Sefer, which is one of the most fundamental of the early commentators, remained in manuscript form for over 600 years. Eventually R. Akiva Leheren of Amsterdam acquired the manuscript and it was published by the renowned Schapiro printing press in Zhitomir to great acclaim. As is well known, seforim printed by the Schapira family press were exceptionally favored by many of the great Chassidic Rebbes and in turn by their followers. Stefansky Hebrew Classics 233.
