Lot 163:
Sefer Shut MiBeit Meir, second book of four, "שו"ת בשו"ע או"ח וחו"מ… בהקפה רחבה, בסברות עמוקות, בהבנה חדורה ובדרך ההגיון" by the Gaon Rabbi Meir Stolevich Av Beit Din of the Zichron Moshe neighborhood (see below). First edition in the author’s lifetime – Jerusalem, 1937. 8, 172 pp.
Ancient leather binding with a leather spine. Moth perforations to the margins of the leaves. Minor stains. Good overall condition.
On the flyleaf, a pen notation "שייך להמחבר בעצמו" (belongs to the author himself). Inside the book, many glosses and comments – lengthy and most significant – on the margins of the leaves. The author, obviously, went over his deep composition and added his comments. It is exciting to see how such Geonim went over the fruit of their labor time and again to improve it. To the best of our knowledge, these glosses have not yet been published.
