Shut Maharam of Lublin [Meir Einei Chachamim]. Venice, [1618]
An extremely rare book: The first edition of one of the most important Shut books of recent generations.
Sefer Shut authored by Rabbi Meir of Lublin:
"חכם אחד מחכמי הגיבורים בפלפולא חריפתא ועמיקתא סיני ועוקר הרים... הרב המאי"ר לארץ בהידורים... מוהר"ר מאיר זצ"ל מק''ק לובלין.. לכן נקרא הספר הנכבד הלז על שמו מנהיר עיני חכמים בהלכה.."

An extremely rare and uncommon book; most of the few copies that were seen of it are incomplete! This copy is a fine and complete one.
Ownership signatures on the title page and several glosses.

Venice, [1617].
114 leaves// 27 cm. Very good condition. Some brown stains on several of the last leaves. Except for this, the copy is in excellent condition. Old simple binding.
