August 1814 zu Inowrazlaw im Herzogthum Posen studirte und promovirte 1835 in Berlin ließ sich hierauf in Aken a. d. Elbe als Arzt nieder wo er mit Ausnahme der als Kreisphysicus zu Delitzsch von 1849-52 verlebten Zeit bis zu seinem am 29. Juni 1898 erfolgten Tode wirkte ärztlich namentlich augenärztlich wie schriftstellerisch in außerordentlich fruchtbarer Weise thätig. Der größere Theil von den zahlreichen Schriften Gerold's ist der Augenheilkunde gewidmet; doch fallen einige noch in die vorophthalmoscopische Periode und sind daher im wesentlichen nur von literarhistorischem Werth. Anzuführen sind: "Die Lehre vom schwarzen Staar und dessen Heilung" Magdeburg 1846; "Grundlinien zu einem Lichtmesser behufs der Nachbehandlung des grauen Staars" auch unter lateinischem Titel ebd. 1848; "Die nervöse Augenschwäche und ihre Behandlung" Halle 1860; "Ophthalmologische Studien: Der Lichtmesser für Augenkrankenzimmer" u. s. w.

1844186843London: James Nisbet and Co. 1844. The novelty of his teachings apparently attracted considerable interest First edition arguing that the main benefit of British military expansion in Asia lay in the new opportunities for religious conversion rather than increased freedom of trade. A member of the London Missionary Society Tomlin 1793-1880 accompanied the German Karl Gützlaff during most of his pioneering journey through Thailand in 1828 - the first visit to the country by Protestant missionaries. In Thailand Tomlin "distributed religious tracts and preached but was unable to build a church. In a period of religious freedom the novelty of his teachings apparently attracted considerable interest. After visiting Bali he returned to Bangkok although as little more than a visitor. By 1833 Tomlin was principal at the Anglo-Chinese College in Malacca when he abolished the stipend the mission paid to students. His relationship with the London Missionary Society came to an end in 1834 after which he ran his own school in Malacca" Howgego. Tomlin's prefatory remarks appeal for greater missionary work in China following the First Opium War.

The author of the commentary was a renowned talmudic scholar and author who lived in the first half of the eighteenth century. This groundbreaking commentary was considered a “funnel of sorts†for previous rabbinic and Medieval commentaries on the Mishnah for it collected explanations from Rashi Maimonides Bertinoro and Tosafot Yom-Tov. It also drew heavily upon Isaac ibn Gabbai's commentary. This work was originally in Amsterdam in the year of 1732. This is the later reprint from Berlin printed between the years 1832-1834. Age wear and scuffing to leather some Hebrew script handwriting on front endpapers but books are in overall good condition. I. Lewent hardcover
