Babylonian Talmud – Zhitomir, 1858-1864 – Fine, Complete Set – High-Quality Paper and Wide Margins
Babylonian Talmud, complete set of 20 volumes. With Piskei Tosfot, Rosh, the Rambam's commentary on Mishnayot, Maharsha, Maharam Schiff and Meir Nativ. Zhitomir: Grandsons of the Rabbi of Slavita, 1858-1864.
This edition includes Meir Nativ, a composition by R. Shabtai HaKohen (a relative of the Shach), omitted from later editions of the Talmud printed in Vilna, Warsaw and Lviv. The Chazon Ish favored and praised the Zhitomir edition of the Talmud, mainly for its inclusion of the Meir Nativ and also because of the publishers' reverence for the holiness of the Talmud.
20 volumes. Each volume with two title pages, printed in black and red. Tractate Nedarim with just one title page, printed in black ink only (this seems to be how all copies of this volume were printed originally). Tractate Shabbat lacking first title page. First title page of Tractate Eruvin apparently supplied from a different copy. Leaves 252-257 of Tractate Sukkah, at end of Vol. V, apparently supplied from a different copy. 40-42 cm. Overall good condition. Stains (large dark stains to last leaves of Berachot volume). Repaired tears to several title pages and other leaves. Worming in a few volumes. Ownership inscriptions. Stamps. New, uniform leather bindings.
