Manuscript of Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried, author of Kizur Shulchan
Autographic handwriting of Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried. Novellae on various portions of Talmud, homiletics, and more.
Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried was born in 1804 in the city of Ungvar, to his father Rabbi Yosef, who was a dayan and halachic authority in Ungvar. His father died when he was eight years old, and his upbringing was given over to Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Heller [R' Hirsheli Charif], author of the well-known book Tiv Gittin. Rabbi Ganzfried's first book, Keset HaSofer, on laws of ritual calligraphy, was published in 1834 in the city of Appen. The Chatam Sofer filled the book with his comments, and wrote that no ritual scribe should be ordained if he is not proficient in it. Rabbi Ganzfried served as Rabbi of Ungvar from 1850 until his passing in 1886. He headed the Orthodox rabbinate in Hungary.
Although he authored tens of important books, he is mainly known for his "Kitzur Shulchan Aruch", a summary of the Shulchan Aruch easily understood by all, which was printed in many editions since its first publishing in 1864, in Ungvar. [In Otzar Yisrael, New York 1909, it is written that half a million copies had already been published, and according to Dr. Yitzchak Rivkind, 1960, a million copies had already been published].
Approx. 11 pages. Varying sizes and conditions. Rebound.
