Toldot Adam. Novellae and give-and-take on the Talmud by Rabbi Moshe Dovid Ashkenazi. Bak press, Jerusalem, 1845. Only edition.
[2], 142 leaves, 30 cm. Approbation of Rabbi Yaakov Lorberbaum of Lissa, the "Chavat Da'at" and Rabbi Yaakov Orenstein of Lemberg. The author was the rabbi of Toltshova [Hungary] for forty years. He was the father-in-law of Admor Yekusiel Teitelbaum of Sighet, the "Yitav Lev". It is told that he asked his son-in-law whether he should print the book in Eretz Yisrael or somewhere else, and was advised to print it in Eretz Yisrael. He, therefore, waited until he immigrated before printing the work. Rare book, one of the first Jerusalem prints.
Magnificent, new leather binding. Restored worming marks on the title page, with blemish to solitary words. Marginal repair. Stains. Owner signature.
