LOT 209

(BIRNBAUM, CHAIM SHMUEL HALEVI) - Rachash Levav [responsa].

[ translate ]

The author (1811-87) was a son-in-law of R. Akiva Eger of Posen. Although not as well known as his celebrated brother-in-law R. Moshe Sofer (the Chasam Sofer), their father-in-law, R. Akiva Eger, expressed the wish that it be R. Birnbaum who would succeed as Rabbi of Posen when the time came. The published version of this text (Jerusalem, 1959) barely differs from the present manuscript except for a few headings and a change in the number of chapters. Aside for his comments Ma’aseh Choshev on the Sha’ar Hamelech, none of R. Birnbaum’s other writings have survived.
