She'elot u-teshuvot. Maftehot. <br> <br> Novellae to Maimonides of the laws pertaining to women i.e. divorce relationships and marriage by Rabbi Jonathan ben Nathan Nata Eybeschutz 1690/95-1764 the talmudist kabbalist and child prodigy. In his youth after the death of his father he studied in Prossnitz under Rabbi Meir Eisenstadt and Rabbi Eliezer ha-Levi Ettinger his uncle and in Vienna under Rabbi Samson Wertheimer. He married the daughter of Rabbi Isaac Spira the av bet din of Bunzlau. After traveling for some time he settled in Prague in 1715 and in time became head of the yeshivah and a famous preacher. <br> After the death of Rabbi David Oppenheim 1736 he was appointed dayan of Prague. Elected rabbi of Metz in 1741 he subsequently became rabbi of the "Three Communities" Altona Hamburg and Wandsbek in 1750. Both in Metz and in Altona he had many disciples and was considered a great preacher. <br> His position in the Three Communities however was undermined when a dispute broke out concerning his suspected leanings toward Shabbateanism. This controversy accompanied Rabbi Eybeschuetz throughout his life and the quarrel had repercussions in every community from Holland to Poland. His main opponent was Rabbi Jacob Emden also a famous talmudist and a potential rival in the candidature to the rabbinate of the Three Communities.<br> The quarrel developed into a great public dispute which divided the rabbis of the day. While most of the German rabbis opposed Rabbi Eybeschuetz his support came from the rabbis of Poland and Moravia. <br> A fruitless attempt at mediation was made by Rabbi Ezekiel Landau rabbi of Prague. Most of Rabbi Eybeschuetz' own community was loyal to him and confidently accepted his refutation of the charges made by his opponent but dissension reached such a pitch that both sides appealed to the authorities in Hamburg and the government of Denmark for a judicial ruling. The king favored Rabbi Eybeschuetz and ordered new elections which resulted in his reappointment. <br> After his reelection as rabbi of the Three Communities some rabbis of Frankfort Amsterdam and Metz challenged him to appear before them to reply to the suspicions raised against him. Rabbi Eybeschuetz refused and when the matter was brought before the Council of the Four Lands in 1753 the council issued a ruling in his favor. In 1760 the debate was rekindled when some Shabbatean elements were discovered among the students of Rabbi Eybeschuetz' yeshiva. At the same time his youngest son Wolf presented himself as a Shabbatean prophet with the result that the yeshiva was closed. See Bibliography of the Hebrew Book 1470-1960 #000109183; EJ; M. A.

In November 1897 Beardsley was commissioned to produce 24 illustrations for this edition of Jonson's Volpone including a frontispiece decorative initials and a front cover design.

This was however a project that Beardsley was passionate about writing "I am making pictures of Ben Jonson's adorable and astonishing Volpone" and "I carry Volpone about with me from dawn to dawn and dream of nothing else". He considered his illustration for the frontispiece "Volpone Adoring His Treasure" as "one of the strongest things I have ever done" cited in Nelson p. 163. Large quarto. Printed cover design frontispiece and 6 vignettes by Beardsley 5 of the vignettes reproduced in large size in photogravure title printed in red and black.
