Turei Zahav Choshen Mishpat - Manuscript of Novellae by Rabbi Chaim Davidson Rabbi of Warsaw
Turei Zahav, on Choshen Mishpat, Berlin, 1766. Second edition [first edition was printed in Hamburg in 1692, with glosses by the publisher author of Chacham Zvi. In that edition only novellae until Siman 246 were printed, but in this second edition, novellae on all Choshen Mishpat were printed for the first time].
On Leaf 2, signature of Rabbi "Chaim David Zohn". Glosses in margins. In beginning and end of volume, 8 pages of handwritten novellae, apparently by Rabbi Chaim Davidson. [One of these pages of novellae was printed in Moriah, Year 10, Issue 3-4, Shvat 1981 - and the rest have apparently never been printed].
Rabbi Chaim Davidson (1760-1854, Otzar HaRabbanim 5945), was born in Pinshev to his father, Rabbi David Tevil. He was a disciple of Rabbi Ya'akov of Lisa, author of Netivot HaMishpat and became a renowned Torah genius and an extremely wealthy man. A leader of Polish Jewry, he was one of the leading rabbis that supported "the Polish revolt". In 1839, after the death of the Chemdat Shlomo, he was elected Chief Rabbi of Warsaw.
People say that before his death, Rabbi Chaim gathered all the notebooks of his novellae and responsa that he had written during his lifetime and burned them. When his family and disciples asked him why he did so, he humbly answered that his thoughts are not fitting to be publicized. Only those novellae that he wrote on the sheets and covers of his books are left, and therefore this manuscript is a precious remnant of the Torah of his generation. (See attached material).
(The title page is missing and substituted with a copy), 129 leaves + 8 handwritten pages, c. 20 cm. Fair condition, wear and moth damage. Worn antique binding.
