Magnificent Copy! Variant Edition! Unidentified Signatures! Novella on the Shulchan Aruch culled from the glosses of the Noda B’Yehuda, published by his son R. Yisroel Landau. On the reverse side of the title page is a note that doesn’t appear in some copies, apologizing for the absence of the list of corrections that usually appears in seforim, owing to financial considerations. R. Yechezkel Landau (1713-1793), was born in Opatow and studied in the great yeshivas of Ludmir and Brody. He served first as a Dayan in Brody and later as a Rav in Yampol. Whilst in Yampol, his reputation preceded him to the renowned Jewish community of Prague which retained him as Rav, where he served until his passing. He was held in awe by his rabbinical contemporaries as well as the general public, and was greatly respected in government circles. World famous as one of the most prominent rabbinical leaders of his generation, he led a great Yeshiva and authored many important works, including his classic halachic responsa Noda B’Yehuda (after which he is known), Dagul Mer’vavah on the Shulchan Aruch and Tzion L’Nefesh Chaya (Tz’LaCH) on the Talmud.
