Responsa Heshiv R. Eliezer VeSiach HaSadeh - Neuwied, 1748-1749 - Copy of the Kabbalist Rabbi Natan Adler, Teacher of the Chatam Sofer
Responsa Heshiv R. Eliezer VeSiach HaSadeh - Part I; with Part II - Damesek Eliezer, by R. Eliezer son of R. Shlomo Zalman Lifshitz. Neuwied (Germany), [1748-1749]. Only edition. Woodcut title page.
Copy of R. Natan Adler. Ownership inscription (in his handwriting?) at the top of the title page: "Belongs to the rabbinical Torah scholar R. [deleted word] Natan son of the late Shimon Adler Katz".
R. Natan HaKohen Adler (1742-1800) was born in Frankfurt am Main to R. Yaakov Shimon Adler. He was an outstanding Torah scholar and eminent kabbalist. He headed the yeshiva he established in his home in Frankfurt, and was the prime teacher of R. Moshe Sofer - the Chatam Sofer, who mentions him extensively in his books in matters of Halacha and Kabbalah, referring to him as "my prime teacher, the renowned and pious Torah scholar, the great eagle" (alluding to the name Adler, German for eagle), and other similar titles. He suffered much persecution from the residents of his city, who even forbade him from holding prayers services in his Beit Midrash conforming with his singular kabbalistic customs. He served for a while as rabbi of Boskowitz (Boskovice), yet later returned to his home and Beit Midrash in Frankfurt.
