This book was printed during the author’s lifetime. His sons, Rabbi Shlomo and Rabbi Zvi Avraham, edited it after they pleaded with him to publish his answers, and he himself carefully went over the book and edited the “Table of Errors” at the end. In the preface his sons printed letters from Rabbi Akiva Eiger, among them detailed instructions as to the printing, including: “Print it on good paper with black ink and nice fonts, because I think the soul is moved and the mind expanded by studying a well-presented book.” And indeed, this book is very elegant. Rare.
Old, worn binding. Small damage on pages 221-222. Very fine condition.
