Especially Rare: Letter from the Gaon Rabbi Zussmanovitch, Author of Teruat Melech - Comments on his Sefer
Important and rare letter, entirely handwritten and signed by the wondrous gaon Rabbi Yosef Zussmanovitch, av beit din of Vilkomir [son-in-law of the rosh yeshivah of Slobodka, Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein]. The letter was sent to the gaon Rabbi Eliezer Silver, av beit din of Cincinnati, Ohio. Vilkomir, c. 1937. Letters from him are especially rare, and to the best of our examination, have never appeared at auction.
The letter opens with Rabbi Yosef expressing his appreciation for the payment for his sefer 'T"M' - Teruat Melech (printed in Kaiden in 1937), as well as for the funds sent for a gravestone for a specific individual.
The body of the letter includes scholarly comments, written in response to the addressee's comments on the composition Teruat Melech. Rabbi Yosef writes, in his humility, that "I really took pleasure in that one of the geonim of the times, [the addressee] reviewed the sefer from beginning to end."
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for a brief biography of the gaon Rabbi Yosef Zussmanovich.
[1] leaf paper, 29.5x23 cm. Official stationery. Entirely handwritten in Rabbi Yosef's unique penmanship.
Fine condition. Fold marks and creases. Tiny tears in the margins and tiny perforations in the fold marks.
