Description
Sefer Shnot Eliyahu - commentary on the mishnahs in Seder Zeraim by Rabbi Eliyahu - the Vilna Gaon. Including two commentaries, a lengthy commentary and a short commentary.
First edition. Lemberg, 1799. One of the first Seforim by the Gr"a to be brought to print.
This Sefer was published posthumously. It is the second Sefer by the Gr"a to be brought to print (during the Gr"a's lifetime, none of his writings were published). This Sefer was printed by the Gr"a's sons, and his son-in-law, Rabbi Moshe Yehudah Leib of Pinsk was responsible for editing and preparation for print. The Sefer was proofread by the Gaon Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, the Gr"a's primary disciple.
A declaration on the back of the title page proclaims an annulment of everything published in the name of the Gr"a, whether in print or orally, that had not been examined by his sons and disciples: "Declaration from the avot batei dinin of Vilna regarding those who misappropriated material in the name of the Gr"a, rabbi of the entire Diaspora, the true Gaon, the late great Rabbi Eliyahu, z"l."
Antique signature on title page, Antique marginal notation.
Vinograd, Otzar Sifrei HaGr"a, no. 177.
