Merkevet HaMishneh, Part 2 - Nashim and Kedusha of Mishneh Torah L'Rambam, by R. Shlomo of Chelm. [Salonika, 1782]. Incomplete copy, sections of Part 2 of Merkevet HaMishneh, only Seder Nashim and Kedusha, without Mada, Ahava and Zemanim which were printed with them. Copy of the Ktav Sofer bearing his signature. (Original) blank leaf at the beginning of the book with a handwritten "title page": "Merkevet Mishneh on Part 4 of the Rambam". The signature of the Ktav Sofer appears on this leaf (initials of his name and of the name of his father). R. Avraham Shmuel Binyamin Sofer (1815-1871), eldest son of the Chatam Sofer and his successor in the Pressburg rabbinate and as head of the Pressburg Yeshiva. Eminent Torah scholar, his disciples were leading rabbis in Hungary and its region. His works of responsa, and Talmudic and Torah novellae were titled Ktav Sofer. Before his birth, his illustrious father, author of the Chatam Sofer foresaw that the soul of a tsaddik would descend to this world and indeed, from his youth, his holiness and devotion to Torah were evident. At the young age of 17-18, he exchanged halachic correspondence with his father's leading disciples. At first, he concealed his outstanding diligence and his vast Torah knowledge from his father, but as time passed, his father discerned his Torah stature and designated him as his successor in delivering discourses in the yeshiva and in writing halachic responsa to various rabbis throughout the world. His illustrious father guided him down the path to greatness in knowledge of revealed and hidden Torah and sent him Kabbalistic books to peruse. After his father's death in 1839, he succeeded his father as rabbi and head of yeshiva at the young age of 24 and was included in the sphere of the foremost Torah leaders of his times. He headed the rabbis who fought against the Reform movement and gave instructions to Hungarian Orthodox communities to form their own enclaves. His halachic authority was widely accepted by leading Torah scholars of his times. The Pressburg Yeshiva which he headed was the leading yeshiva in Hungary in the days of the Ktav Sofer, with a student enrollment of 300-400 students, most alumni of other Hungarian yeshivot. A substantial percentage of the rabbis serving in Hungary and central-Europe were alumni of the Pressburg Yeshiva. Incomplete, 100 leaves (originally: [1], 53; 100 leaves). 29 cm. Condition varies among the leaves, most in good condition. Stains. Light worming. Dampstains and repaired tears to margins of last leaves, slightly affecting text. New elaborate leather binding.
