1901rif. H41352Warsaw: Ya aqov Ze ev ben Unt erhendler 1901. Hardcover. Fair. Large 8vo in mid-20th century amateur cloth binding fair copy with pages very tanned and brittle with multiple edge tears crumbling and chips. Appears to be complete in several parts. With short typed note on a slip from Solomon Freehof to his colleague Walter Jacob. Uncommon. Epstein 1829–1908 was a rabbi and halakhic authority rabbi of Novogrudok Belaruss. According to an online encyclopedia "Epstein's fame rests upon his Arukh ha-Shul an consisting of novellae and halakhic rulings on the four parts of the Shul an Arukh: Ora ayyim 1903–07 Yoreh De'ah 1894–98 Even ha-Ezer 1905–06 and oshen Mishpat 1884–93. In the introduction to the volume on oshen Mishpat Epstein explains that just as Maimonides saw the need to compose the Mishneh Torah and Joseph Caro the Shul an Arukh in order to codify the halakhah in their times there was now a need to bring the Shul an Arukh up to date by giving the halakhic rulings which had been promulgated by authorities subsequent to Caro both in works devoted to that purpose and in responsa. He said that "great anxiety and confusion" had resulted from those new rulings and his work was intended to give the final halakhic summation up to his day. Although in its external arrangement the work follows the chapters of the Shul an Arukh in its internal arrangements he conforms to that of the Mishneh Torah of Maimonides. According to Epstein the principal aim of the study of Torah is not dialectical and casuistic exercise the "uprooting of mountains"; but to arrive at a definite knowledge of the halakhah.
