Pnei Yehoshua. First Edition. Fundamental Sefer
Pnei Yehoshua on Tractates Bava Kamma and Bava Metzia by the gaon Rabbi Ya'akov Yosha Falk, rabbi of Lvov, Berlin and Frankfurt, known by the name of this work, as the "Ba'al HaPnei Yehoshua." Frankfurt am Main, 1756. First edition.
One of the fundamental sefarim for comprehension of gamara, Rash"i and Tosafot, warmly received by the entire Jewish Diaspora.
Chassidic story attesting to the tremendous greatness of the Pnei Yehoshua: When the Ba'al Shem Tov was informed from Heaven that he requires, for the sake of his soul, to attend to a genuine Torah scholar, he went to the Pnei Yehoshua for a certain period to attend him - despite the fact that the Pnei Yehoshua was considered a mitnaged.
