Mishnayot Zra’im with the commentaries Bartenura and Tosafot Yom Tov, Tosafot Chadashot, and the addition of the Rishon LeZion, and in this edition (for the first time) the Rambam’s commentary and Bartenura on Mishnat Aruga and the Noteh Yerek (which was missing in all prior editions). With notes and chiddushim “Mishnat Rav” from the gaon Rabbi Baruch Frankel Teumim, the Av Beit Din of Lipnik, author of the Baruch Taam, father-in-law of the Admor Divrei Chaim of Sanz. Printed in Lemberg 1862.
Rare edition—from among all the libraries linked with the unified catalogue we found only one copy at the National Library. Missing the first title page, otherwise appears to be a complete copy (not checked completely). Old binding, antique defective spine, worming holes in the first leaves, light defects, overall good condition.
The title page has the stamp: “Asher Rosenbaum ben Ha”tz of Nadvorna”. The Admor Rabbi Asher Yeshaya Rosenbaum (1914-2012) was the youngest son of the ADmor Rabbi Itamar of Nadvorna. Born in Kretschnif, he studied in the Vizhnitz yeshiva. He married his niece, the daughter of the Admor Rabbi Yitzhak Isaac of Zotshka, served as the “Admor of Bucharest” in the US. In 1971 he moved to Israel and settled in Hadera. Later he moved to Bnei Brak and lived there until his old age, when he moved to live with his daughter and son-in-law, Rabbi Yaakov Rotenburg of Solka in Monsey.
