Olat Tamid. Amsterdam, 1681. First Edition. Pedigree Copy
Sefer Olat Tamid, elucidation on Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim with the Shulchan Aruch text, by Rabbi Shmuel b"r Yosef of Kraków. Two parts: Olat Tamid and Olat Shabbat. Amsterdam, 1681.
Among the most renowned works on Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, with approbations from Va'ad Arba Aratzot, Rabbi Ya'akov Sasportas, Rabbi David of Lida - rabbi of the Ashkenazic community in Amsterdam, Rabbi Yitzchak Abuhav - rabbi of the Portuguese community, and more. It became considered the most important and most popular halachic work immediately upon publication, often cited in later works.
The Magen Avraham, too, frequently cites this work, often critically, as discussed by Rabbi Chaim Nathan Dembitzer in his work Klilat Yofi (Part I, pp. 61-62): "Although Olat Tamid was well-received when it first came out, and beloved to all ... When the wondrous work Magen Avraham was printed, complete with many critical comments on [Olat Tamid], the author also pointedly remarked several times: "not as in the Olat Tamid." Hence the Tamid was abolished. It has not been reprinted from then and until now. Magen Avraham was lovingly accepted in its place and halachah is determined according to the latter across the entire Diaspora to this day."
Inscribed on the flyleaf: Bought with my own funds in honor of my Creator, the youth Shimon son of the rabbi, the author of Sefer Minchat Ya'akov and Chok Ya'akov - none other than the gaon Rabbi Ya'akov Reisher [1660-1733], one of the leading poskim in his generation, rabbi of Reisha, Worms and Metz, also known as the author of Shevut Ya'akov. The owner of this sefer was the author's only son, the gaon Rabbi Shimon.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Shimon (Bechhofen).
