Halachic Responsum, Handwritten and Signed by Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried, Author of Kitzur Shulchan Aruch
Halachic Responsum, handwritten and signed by R. Shlomo Ganzfried. [Uzhorod, between 1868-1879].
Long halachic responsum (4 pages), regarding the kosher status of milk from gentile-owned animals who had been fed chametz (leavened) on Passover. At the end of the responsum is his signature: "I have written my humble opinion, Shlomo Ganzfried". He quotes his correspondence on the matter with "R. Chaim Sofer, rabbi of Munkacs (Mukachevo)" [R. Chaim Sofer, author of "Machane Chaim", served as rabbi of Mukachevo from 1868-1879, after which he was appointed rabbi in Budapest. We have thus estimated the date of the letter as between 1868-1879].
R. Shlomo Ganzfried (1804-1886) was the son of R. Yosef, rabbi of Ungvar (Uzhorod), Hungary. He was a disciple of R. Zvi Hirsh Heller (R. Hirshle Charif), author of Tiv Gittin, who raised him after the untimely passing of his father. R. Ganzfried's first book, “Keset HaSofer”, on laws of scribal writing of Torah scrolls, Tefillin and Mezuzot (Obuda, 1834), contains the Chatam Sofer’s approbation and his glosses, where he states that no scribe should be ordained without demonstrating proficiency in this book. R. Ganzfried officiated as rabbi of Uzhorod from 1850 until his passing in 1886, and also headed the Orthodox rabbinate in Hungary.
He authored dozens of important works, however he is best known for his Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, a simple summary of the Shulchan Aruch (definitive code of Jewish law), printed in many editions since its first publishing in 1864 in Uzhorod. ["Otzar Yisrael", New York, 1909, notes that half a million copies had already been published. According to Dr. Yitzchak Rivkind, a million copies had been published by 1960].
[4] pages. 21 cm. Approximately 100 lines in his handwriting. Good-fair condition. Stains and wear. Paper pasted in the fold between the two pages.
This responsa has been printed in abbreviated form in the "Lechem Hapanim" glosses to the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, section 117. It has also been partially printed (based on a copy), in the "Kerem Shlomo" anthology (issue 136, 1991, pp. 27-30), and printed in its entirety (based on this manuscript) in the "Otzarot Hasofer" anthology (issue 19, 2008, pp. 29-34).
