Maleh Ratzon - Frankfurt-am-Mein 1710 - First Edition. - Sefer Maleh Ratzon, chiddushim on Shas by the gaon Rabbi Avraham Naftali Hirsch HaLevi Spitz, Frankfurt-am-Mein, 1710. First edition. With approbation by the head of the Frankfurt rabbinical court,   the Gaon Rabbi Naftali Katz, author of the ”Semichat Chachamim.” The author took it upon himself, to try reason or justify all the words of Chazal that seem to contradict one another. On the 5th leaf, there is a famous map that he used to justify the contradiction which appears in Maseches Brachos (28a), regarding the places added to the synagogue after the beginning of Rebbi Eliezer ben Azarya’s reign. The title page is decorated with floral designs, with the inscription ”Hashem Tzeva'ot Le'ateret Tzvi” (Lord of Hosts, for the Crown of Tzvi). Additional illustrations and decorations are found on the pages of the sefer. [2], 4, 97 [i.e. 99], 114, 7, 9-10, 13, [1] Leaves. 31.5 Cm.
