Archot Haim on the Shulchan Aruch, two sections. First edition, Sighet 1898, with signature of the author, Rabbi Nachman Kahane of Spinka.

With notes from the Maharsham of Berezan. First edition, published during the author’s lifetime. Separate cover for section 2, endorsement by his father-in-law the Admor Rabbi Yosef Meir (the Imrei Yosef of Spinka), who notes that his endorsement “is meant to speed people to bring a blessing home with them together with this book”. Important additional endorsements, including the Sdei Chemed. [3], 178, [2], 203 pages. New binding, defect on the spine, stains and tears, p. 40 has tape around it, generally good condition.


The two covers have the author’s stamp, with the inscription “all books not bearing my signature have been stolen.” The two covers have an additional note: “To Hashem who made the land and filled it, Paltiel Shimon HaLevi Landau.” Additional stamp of ownership: “Moshe Weiss motz in Lodz.”


The author (1865-1904) was the son of Rabbi Haim Aryeh Kahane (the Divrei Geonim). He was son-in-law of the Admor Rabbi Yosef Meir Weiss, the Imrei Yosef of Spinka. He served as rabbi of Spinka in 1884, which led to a controversy involving the Kedushat Yom Tov of Sighet, which caused a rift between the chassidim of Sighet and Spinka. His son, Rabbi Zvi, succeeded him in Spinka. This work was applauded by many of his generation, including the Maharsham of Berezan, the Aderet of Mir. The author died during his father’s lifetime.
