Classic sefer with Signature of the Machane Chaim. Kreisi U'Pleisi - Tiferes Yisroel, novellae on the halachahs of niddah. This is the first edition of the most famous book by that gaon of geonim, the symbol of sharp and scholarly understanding, the Kabbalist Rabbi Yehonatan Eybeschütz. Karlsruhe, 1773. Rabbi Chaim Sofer (1821 –1886) was born in Pressburg and learned in the great Yeshiva of the Chasam Sofer where he was a prize talmid, known for his outstanding diligence, perspicacity and intellectual capacity. He was also a talmid of the MaHaRa”M Ash. He later learned under R. Binyomin Wolf Lowey of Verbau (Shaarei Torah) whom he considered his primary Rebbe. He served as Rav in various important communities notably Munkacs and later Budapest. Following the Chasam Sofer’s tradition, the Machaneh Chaim fiercely battled any attempt to introduce change or leniency into authentic Jewish tradition, and he was regarded as one of the greatest meishivim in all of Hungary. He served as Av Beis Din in Gyömöre, Sajószentpéter, and Munkacs, and was the Av Beis Din of Khal Adas Hayereim in Budapest, a position he accepted after the Chasam Sofer appeared to him in a dream and instructed him to accept the Rabbinate there. His written legacy includes the 8-volume Shu”t Machaneh Chaim. Size : 20 cm Condition : Overall in very fine condition, hole to first few pages.
