Imrei Shefer, super commentary to Rashi on the Torah, by R. Natan Shapiro Rabbi of Horodna. [Kraków -]Lublin: Kalonymus son of Mordechai Jaffe, [1591]-1597. First edition. Copy previously owned by the great Torah scholar and kabbalist, R. Natan Adler of Frankfurt. Many ownership inscriptions attesting that the book belonged to R. Natan Adler Katz son of R. [Yaakov] Shimon, on the front endpapers, title page, pp. 150b and 151a (in Hebrew and German). On p. 150a, ownership inscription in early Ashkenazic script: "Yitzchak son of Aharon". At the end of the book of Bereshit, on p. 85b, familial inscription: "In the memory of the passing of my mother Zis, who passed away on Wednesday, 22nd Adar 1732… in Winternheim…". R. Natan HaKohen Adler Katz (1742-1800), was born in Frankfurt am Main to R. Yaakov Shimon Adler. He was an outstanding Torah scholar and eminent kabbalist. He headed the yeshiva he established in his home in Frankfurt, and was the prime teacher of R. Moshe Sofer - the Chatam Sofer, who mentions him extensively in his books in matters of Halacha and Kabbalah, referring to him as "My prime teacher, the renowned and pious Torah scholar, the great eagle" (alluding to the name Adler, German for eagle), and other similar titles. He suffered much persecution from the residents of his city, who even forbade him from holding prayers services in his Beit Midrash conforming with his singular kabbalistic customs. He served for a while as rabbi of Boskowitz (Boskovice), yet later returned to his home and Beit Midrash in Frankfurt. [1], 259 leaves. Lacking last leaf. 31.5 cm. Condition varies, most leaves in good-fair condition. Title page incomplete, with loss primarily to margins, affecting bottom border. The remaining part was mounted on an old leaf (dating from R. Natan Adler's ownership of the book, as one inscription was written on this leaf), resulting in concealment of preface (printed on verso of title page). Stains and wear, dampstains. Tears to several leaves, repaired with paper. Old binding, with leather spine, damaged. The first part of the book was printed by the author's son in Kraków, 1591. He was then summoned to serve as rabbi and yeshiva dean in Lublin, where, in 1597, he completed the printing of the book, starting from Vayikra onwards, including the title page. The Bibliography of the Hebrew Book list a copy (181325), in which leaves 139-150 were also reprinted in Lublin. In this copy, leaves 1-96 and 103-138 were printed in Kraków, while leaves 97-102 in addition to the last part of the book, were printed in Lublin.
