(The Chacham Tzvi). Shailoth U'Teshuvoth [responsa].

FIRST EDITION. A wide margined copy. ff.(1), 127. Some staining, previous owners' inscriptions and stamps on title and elsewhere, title remargined. Later calf-backed boards, worn. Sm folio. Vinograd, Amsterdam 956.

Solomon Proops, Amsterdam: 1712.
