Sefer Chochmat Adam. First Edition. Vilna, 1815. Rare


Chochmat Adam - novellae and commentary on the halachahs in Yoreh Deah by the mighty gaon Rabbi Avraham Danzig, author of Chayyei Adam. With the second part, known as Binat Adam. Vilna, 1815-1816. Rare first edition. Incomplete copy in Binat Adam.

Many dozens of handwritten comments on the sheets in the book copied from the 'table of errata and omissions' printed at the beginning of the book and inserted in the second edition to be printed.


On the title page of the book Chochmat Adam, there is an approbation from Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, with a brief introduction by the author, who notes that the book does not need approbations, and Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin, who doesn't give approbations to new halachic works, gave an approbation to this book.

On the title page of the book Binat Adam, the author writes that he was an in-law of the gaon of Vilna. He rarely cites him because in the book Chayyei Adam he cites him and discusses his words in-depth, occasionally disagreeing with him. However, he heard that people didn't appreciate this. So although he is certain this is the way of Torah, he is avoiding citing him. Refer to: Ch. Liebermann, Ohel Rache"l I, pp. 471-472.
