Kol Aryeh. Jerusalem, 1866. Special Copy
Kol Aryeh, in-depth Talmudic studies by Rabbi Aryeh Leib Charif. Brought to print by his grandson, Rabbi Shneur Zalman [Mendelowitz] of Hebron. Jerusalem, Beck Press. 1866. First edition. Dedication from the author's grandson, Rabbi Shneur Zalman, emissary of Hebron.
Two title pages, with a picture of Jerusalem and a picture of the Cave of the Patriarchs. Lengthy dedication on the flyleaf from the one who brought it to print, handwritten by him and with his signature and stamp. The dedication is to "The exalted and famous maggid Rabbi Nota. Apparently this is the Jerusalem maggid, Rabbi Nota Tzvi Weiss, father-in-law of Rabbi Yosef Tzvi Salant.
The book was brought to print by the author's grandson, Rabbi Shneur Zalman Mendelowitz of Hebron, and is accompanied by many important approbations, some rare. In a lengthy foreword, the person who brought it to print wrote about his mission as an emissary for Kollel Ashkenazim Chaba"d, and about his travels to Oriental lands. He also tells of his meetings with members of the Sassoon family in various countries and goes into detail about their great help in publishing the book in memory of their father, R' David Sassoon, who passed away right before this book's printing. (Regarding his mission and the book's printing, refer to Ya'ari, Shluchei Eretz Yisrael 695-696.)
