Sefer Erech Millin, Prague 1852. Only Edition, with Author's Dedication.


Sefer Erech Millin was written by R. Shlomo Yehudah Rappaport, one of Prague's Rabbis. R. Rappaport (Commonly known as "Shir") was the son-in-law of the famed R. Aryeh Leib Heller, author of Ketzos HaChoshen. He famously authored the indexes to Sefer Avnei Milluim with his own comments.

At the beginning if the Sefer is a handwritten inscription from the author to R. Yosef Eizikson Rabbi of Rotterdam. R. Eizikson was the son-in-law of R. Yaakov Ettlinger, author of 'Aruch LaNer'.
