Lacking Title page. Work by renowned German Talmudist and Rabbi Aryeh Löb Ben Hayyim Kats a.k.a. Breslau. his last name is often given as Breslau from his birth place. More on him: See below "Pene Aryeh" Lion's Face a volume of responsa is distinguished by its logical method and reveals a thorough knowledge of the Talmud. Recognizing the latter work as the highest authority the author always applied common sense to the elucidation of Biblical and Talmudic precepts. While respecting the post-Talmudic authors he wrote entirely independently of them and without prejudice. Aside from Talmudic questions the "Pene Aryeh" also contains answers to other matters which bring out the author's thorough knowledge of Hebrew linguistics. The style of the responsa is simple and clear the language being that of the Mishnah with an admixture of pure Hebrew phraseology without rhetorical flourishes. The work on the whole reveals a serious scholarly mind. Source: Jewish Encyclopedia. Front board detached but present with marble completely worn off at front board. Owner's inscription on front endpaper. Backstrip unhinged. First three leaves are loose but present. Moderate rippling and water staining throughout not affecting text. Minor worming on leaves 11-34 with minimal text loss. Pages are browned as expected for books of this kind. In Hebrew. Fair condition. On the author Source: Jewish Encyclopedia: Breslau Aryeh Löb Ben Hayyim. German Talmudist and Rabbi; born in 1741 at Breslau Prussia; died April 22 1809 at Rotterdam Holland. He lived at Lissa Posen and later at Berlin where he was an inmate of the bet ha-midrash of the philanthropist Daniel Jafe. From Berlin he went to Emden Prussia as city and district rabbi. In 1781 he was called as chief rabbi to Rotterdam. Breslau was highly reputed as Talmudist as is shown by his many responsa and by the fact that such celebrated men as Phineas Hurwitz Isaiah Berlin and David Tevele Schiff referred Talmudic questions to him. He was also distinguished by his knowledge of the secular sciences. He enjoyed great popularity in Holland and his reputation was not confined to Jewish circles but many Christian scholars and theologians were also among his friends. He was buried with great ceremony many delegates from the various Jewish communities attending his funeral. His memory is still revered among the Dutch Jews. Bet Eked V.3 page 836 item #397.

174042573Amsterdam: No Publisher Listed 1740. Hardback. 2nd edition. Period Vellum binding 12mo 132 leaves; 17 cm. In Hebrew. Mayer Sulzberger's copy with his bookplate. Like the Mishnah Mishnat Hasidim is arranged in "Sedarim" which are divided into "massechtot" and subdivided into "perakim." With an introduction entitled: Olam Katan. Includes index. Title-page has ornamental border. <br> Raphael Immanuel ben Abraham Hai Ricchi 1688-1743 was an "Italian rabbi cabalist and poet.After having studied Talmud under Nathan Pinkerle rabbi of Alessandria della Paglia Ricchi became tutor in the houses of several wealthy Jews. He was thus successively employed at Göritz Fiorenzuola Finale in Modena and Venice; in the last-named place he opened a school. He then went to Triest where he was ordained rabbi in 1717 by Hillel Ashkenazi rabbi of Canea after which he was invited to the rabbinate of Görz.<br> Owing to his great love for cabalistic studies and to his ascetic tendencies Ricchi resolved to settle in Palestine. He arrived at Safed in 1718 and during his stay there of two years he occupied himself with the study of the works of Isaac Luria and Hayyim Vital. He was also reordained rabbi by Hayim Abulafia. In 1720 an epidemic broke out in Palestine and Ricchi was compelled to return to Europe. <br> On the voyage he and all his fellow passengers were captured by pirates and brought to Tripolitza whence through the efforts of Abraham Halfon Ricchi and his family were allowed to return to Italy. He then occupied the rabbinate of Florence till 1723 in which year he removed to Leghorn where for twelve years he engaged in business as a merchant. He spent twenty months in travel visiting Smyrna Salonica Constantinople Amsterdam and London and in 1735 set out for Palestine spending two years at Aleppo and three at Jerusalem. In 1741 he returned to Leghorn and in 1743 while traveling in Italy for the purpose of selling his works he was killed by robbers who buried his body by the shore of the Reno. Six days later some Modena Jews discovered the remains and brought them to Cento for burial.<br> Ricchi's most important work is the above-cited 'Mishnat Hasidim' a cabalistic work begun in 1726 at Leghorn. <br> Like the Mishnah it is arranged in orders 'sedarim' which are divided into treatises 'massektot' and subdivided into chapters 'peraim' the names of the six Mishnah orders being taken in a cabalistic sense. But the chief divisions of the work are three termed 'mafteot' besides the introduction entitled ''Olam Kaon' = 'microcosmos' in which Ricchi endeavors to popularize the Cabala. <br> The first main division is the 'Maftea ha-'Olamot' in which the worlds are treated. It contains: 1 the order of Zera'im treating of the cabalistic cosmology and of metaphysics and divided into seven massektot and eighteen chapters; 2 the order Kodashim treating of the realm of emanation 'olam ha-azilut' which is styled 'the holy of holies' and containing twenty massektot and seventy-eight chapters; 3 the order ohorot treating of the three other realms namely those of creative ideas 'beri'ah' creative formations 'yezirah' and creative matter 'asiyah' and divided into nine massektot and twenty-seven chapters; and 4 the order Nezikin treating of the demons and 'kelifot' and divided into six massektot and seventeen chapters. <br> The second main division entitled 'Maftea ha-Neshamot' contains the order Nashim treating of souls in twelve massektot and forty-eight chapters. The third main division entitled 'Mafteah ha-Kawwanot' contains the order Mo'ed divided into fifty-eight massektot and 371 chapters and treating of the Kawwanah. It will be seen that the number of massektot in this work is 112 corresponding to the numerical value of the sacred name ; and the number of chapters 547 equal to the numerical value of Ricchi's name plus twelve the number of its letters. <br> The sources for this work besides the Zohar are mostly Isaac Luria's and Hayyim Vital's writings of which the 'Sefer ha-Gilgulim' 'Kanfe Yonah' and 'Shulhan 'Aruk' may be particularly mentioned. Ricchi drew also from other cabalists" M. Seligsohn in JE 1905.<br> NYU houses their copy in the Mitchell M. Kaplan Collection of Rare Judaica and Hebraica. Aviva Ben-Ur's Ladino catalog list #14. Judge Mayer Sulzberger "was closely associated with Isaac Leeser and assisted that scholar in editing The Occident contributing to it a partial translation of Maimonides' "Moreh Nebukim." After Leeser's death Sulzberger edited vol. xxvi. of The Occident. He was one of the founders of the Young Men's Hebrew Association which he served as president; and he has taken great interest in the Jewish Hospital of Philadelphia of which he has been vice-president since 1880. He was from the beginning in 1888 chairman of the publication committee of the Jewish Publication Society of America; was one of the original trustees of the Baron de Hirsch fund; and interested himself in the establishment of agricultural colonies at Woodbine N.
