Responsa Shaagat Aryeh – Frankfurt an der Oder, 1756 – First Edition – With Rare Leaves

Responsa Shaagat Aryeh, halachic studies on Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, by R. Aryeh Leib Ginsburg, Rabbi of Metz. Frankfurt an der Oder: Grila, [1756]. First edition.

The first book of the Shaagat Aryeh, through which he became renowned for his brilliance. The book was widely accepted throughout the Jewish world, reaching the community of Metz, who subsequently invited him to succeed R. Yehonatan Eibeshitz in his rabbinical post.

Reputedly, the author of Shaagat Aryeh was extremely poor, and due to a shortage of paper, the first edition of Shaagat Aryeh was written almost completely in acronyms.
