Six Orders of the Mishnah, with Glosses by the Gaon of Vilna – Lviv, 1814 – Printed by Rabbi Shlomo Yarish
Six Orders of the Mishnah, with R. Ovadia of Bartenura, Tosafot Yom Tov, Tosafot Chadashim and glosses by the Gaon of Vilna. Lviv: R. Shlomo Yarish Rappaport (his name appears in German on the title pages), 1814.
All the title pages read: "…additionally, glosses by the Gaon… R. Eliyahu of Vilna". Nevertheless, the glosses of the Gaon of Vilna were printed on Order Zera'im only (in succession, on p. [242b] at the end of that volume).
This edition was printed at the initiative of R. Aharon son of R. Meshulam HaKohen, maggid and posek in Lviv, son-in-law of his uncle R. Yehuda Leib HaKohen Rabbi of Stryi (R. Meshulam Kohen Tzedek, 1758-1810, author of Ikar Tosafot Yom Tov on Mishnayot and Pitchei Niddah on the laws of Niddah, and his brother R. Yehuda Leib HaKohen Rabbi of Stryi, were brothers of R. Yitzchak Eizik HaKohen Rabbi of Korets, author of Brit Kehunat Olam, disciple of the Maggid of Mezeritch).
This book was printed in the press of R. Shlomo Yarish (Rappoport), who notably printed the Noam Elimelech in 1788. Reputedly, the workers of the press were holy men, amongst the 36 hidden Tzaddikim of the generation (see: R. B. Landau, R. Elimelech MiLizhensk, Jerusalem, 1963, p. 311, who quotes an oral tradition [in the name of R. Moshe Halberstam], on the unique qualities of R. Shlomo Yarish's edition of the Noam Elimelech, which "was printed by G-d fearing workers, who worked in sanctity and purity, and some were amongst the 36 hidden Tzaddikim upon whom the world stands").
Ownership inscription on the title page of Order Nashim: "…Elazar son of the late R. Yaakov of ----[?]". His (cropped) signature also appears on the title page of Order Kodashim.
