Classics. Tiferes Yisroel on the Mishnayos. Zera’im. First Edition. Hanover 1830 - First edition of the Tiferes Yisroel commentary to the Mishna on Seder Zera’im by R. Yisroel Lipchitz of Danzig. This commentary is one of the most widely-used by both scholars and laymen alike. This volume includes an important approbation by R. Akiva Eiger, as well as pages of pre-subscribers which include renowned rabbinical figures such as R. Akiva Eiger. R. Yisroel Lipschitz (1782–1860), was born into a distinguished rabbinical family – his father was R. Gedalia Lipschitz, author of Regel Yeshara, and his grandfather was R. Yisroel Lipchitz, Rav of Cleves. He served as Rav, first in Dessau and then in Danzig. Famed for his outstanding scholarship, he was a prolific author who wrote many important works. His best known work is Tiferes Yisroel, already a classic in its author’s lifetime, which is often considered to be one of the clearest and most useful commentaries on the Mishna. Additionally, he was renowned as a great Tzaddik who led an ascetic lifestyle, frequently fasting while studying and praying incessantly. Stefansky Hebrew Classics 34. Vinograd Hannover 18.
