Michtav Eliyahu – Commentaries of the Gaon of Vilna on Shir HaShirim, Chabakuk and More – Prague, 1811 – First Edition – Signatures of Rabbi Mordechai Adler Katz
Michtav Eliy[ahu], commentary on Shir HaShirim and on the Book of Chabakuk, and selected novellae on Rambam and Talmudic topics, by the Gaon of Vilna. Prague: "Shmuel HaKatan" [R. Shmuel Klein], 1811. First edition of the commentary on Shir HaShirim and Chabakuk. In subsequent editions, a different, emended text was printed.
The publisher printed the commentary on Shir HaShirim and Chabakuk based on a manuscript copying which he obtained. The commentary was printed with errors and omissions. In 1842, the grandsons of the Gaon of Vilna published a corrected version of this commentary, with the addition of sections which were not printed here (they referred to this commentary as "commentary a"). They also added an additional commentary by the Gaon of Vilna (which they refer to as "commentary b"). In their edition, the grandsons of the Gaon of Vilna do not relate at all to the present edition, see next item.
There are three prenumeranten leaves at the beginning of the book, with names of subscribers from Bohemia and Moravia. A foreword was printed on verso of title page, by "the sons of the outstanding rabbi…", signed by "Yehuda Leib son of the late Gaon R. Eli." – this is the foreword of the sons of the Gaon of Vilna to Perush al Kama Aggadot (Vilna, 1800). The publisher, R. Shmuel Klein, omitted the final two paragraphs and the name of R. Avraham son of the Gaon of Vilna (who had passed away by then). Furthermore, he shortened the first paragraph, omitting the passage criticising R. Menachem Mendel of Shklow and R. Moshe of Pinsk (see item 19).
Signatures and ownership inscription of R. "Mordechai Adler Katz" – R. Mordechai HaKohen Adler Rabbi of Hanover.
