Shulchan Aruch Yoreh De'ah with the Commentary of the Gaon of Vilna – First Edition – Horodna, 1806

Ashlei Ravrevei, Shulchan Aruch Yoreh De'ah, with the commentary of the Gaon of Vilna. Horodna, 1806. First edition of the commentary of the Gaon of Vilna. Title page printed in red and black.

This is the first edition of the commentary of the Gaon of Vilna on Shulchan Aruch Yoreh De'ah, based on his original manuscript. This edition was brought to print by the sons of the Gaon of Vilna.

A foreword by R. Menachem Mendel of Shklow, disciple of the Gaon of Vilna was printed on the leaf following the title page (with mentions of R. Yisrael of Shklow who assisted in editing the book), followed by a foreword by the sons of the Gaon of Vilna – R. Yehuda Leib and R. Avraham.

The classic commentaries – the Shach and Taz, were not printed in this edition, presumably to save on printing expenses. The commentary of the Gaon of Vilna was printed around the text of the Shulchan Aruch, with Be'er HaGolah on the sides.
