Tractate Avot with the "Yeiyn Levanon" Commentary by Rabbi Naftali Hertz Wessely.
Two leaves of "a second index" were added at the end of this copy. These Rare leaves, are not found in most copies.
Approbations: Rabbi Shaul – Av Beit Din of Ashkenazi community of Amsterdam, Rabbi Yechezkel HaLevi Landau of Prague, author of “Nodah B’Yehuda” and others. A major controversy arose concerning the book and its author being that the author supported Moshe Mendelssohn, father of the Enlightenment Movement. Seven years later, the “Nodah B’Yehuda” himself wrote harsh letters in opposition of Wessely’s booklet “Divrei Shalom Ve’Emet”. Surprisingly, this commentary was accepted throughout the Jewish Diaspora and he is quoted in many compilations on Tractate Avot.
[6], 150; [2] leaves 32.1 cm. Colored cutting of leaves.
