Maaseh Rav – Lviv, 1833 – Second Edition with Many Variations Compared to First Edition – Signatures of Rabbi Shmuel Heller
Maaseh Rav, practices of the Gaon of Vilna, by R. Yissachar Dov Ber of Vilna. Lviv, 1833. Second edition.
This edition has many differences in comparison to the first edition printed in Vilna and Horodna in 1832, and it is (presumably) an earlier version of the work, prepared for print by the author in 1817. See: R. Dovid Kamenetsky, Torat HaGra, p. 175 onwards.
Signatures on the title page and final leaf: " Shmuel Heller" – R. Shmuel Heller (1786-1884), a leading Torah scholar and a physician, well versed in secular wisdoms, he was raised in the home of the Chozeh of Lublin and immigrated to Eretz Israel upon his advice. He served as rabbi of Safed for sixty years (see: HaRav HaManhig VehaRofeh, Safed 1989 for his biography and the history of the Safed settlement).
