Chofetz Chaim-Shemiras HaLoshon. First Editions. Vilna 1873-1876
The R. Dovid Frankel copy.
Lot of two classic seforim on the laws of Lashon Hara and Rechilus. These were the first seforim written by the Chofetz Chaim, who ultimately became known as the Chofetz Chaim after his first sefer. The sefer Chofetz Chaim was printed anonymously with the title page and the approbations without the author’s name, however (presumably for legal reasons) it does have “I. M. Kagan” in Cyrillic letters.
These seforim were received to almost unprecedented acclaim and are to be found in almost every Torah home. R. Yisrael Meir Ha’Cohen Kagan (1838-1933), was the preeminent Torah leader of his time.
He published many seforim on topics he felt needed emphasis, such as the laws of forbidden speech, family purity, tznius and daily Torah study in addition to the Mishna Berurah. He also placed importance on studying the laws of Kodshim to prepare for the arrival of Moshiach and published Likutei Halachos on Kodshim.
With the signature of R. Dovid Frankel, famous talmid of the Chazon Ish and the Brisker Rav.
5, [1], 8-81; 33 pages. 22 cm. Very fine condition. Some small holes on a few pages. Antique binding.
