MALBIM, MEIR LEIBUSH.
Sepher Ikrei Dinim by R. Daniel Tirani. Sudilkov, 1835. Opening two leaves only.
Famed for his exceptional commentary to Tanach, R. Meir Leibush ben Yehiel Michel Weisser (1809-79) was popularly known as the Malby’m, a name creatively derived from an acronym of names belonging to him and to his father.
His service as Chief Rabbi of Bucharest was marred by strife with the Reform element of the community, and he was for a time tempted by an offer in New York City which ultimately went to Rabbi Jacob Joseph.
The Malbim’s signature here states that he was residing in Kempen (today, Kępno Poland), where the Malbim served as rabbi from 1845 until 1859, after which he was appointed Chief Rabbi of Bucharest. The Malbim’s personal stamp dates from his tenure in Bucharest.
