Efrayim Zalman Margolis & Hayyim Joseph Gottlieb [?] : TIV GITTEN [THE DEPTH OF DIVORCE] & YAD EPHRAYIM [THE HAND OF EFRIAM]

Schrenzel, Lemburg [Lvov] Poland, 1859

Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. On offer: two books by separate authors in one binding bound together. Both books deal with the Jewish laws of divorce. The first book is called Tiv Gittin - The Depth of Divorce (loosely translated), an important book used to this day by Rabbis who serve on Jewish courts and issue Jewish divorces. Research suggests the author is Hayyim Joseph Gottlieb of Stropkov [also known as the Stropkover Rov]. The 2nd book is called Yad Efrayim - The Hand of Ephrayim, authored by early 19th century, Galician Rabbi Efrayim Zalman Margolis. It lists every Hebrew name he could think of, and their accurate Hebrew spelling [a Jewish divorce must be written accurately and precisely on behalf of the parties involved. If their names are inaccurately spelled the divorce is problematic. There are many Jewish, Yiddish, German, Spanish, names whose Hebrew spelling is difficult to determine and hence the purpose of this book.] Covers are rough but overall G.. Illustr.: ,. Hebrew, Judaica. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Original Wraps
