SEFER TORAT HAYYIM (NOVELLAE ON THE TALMUD), PART 2, RABBI ABRAHAM HAYYIM SCHORR, KRAKOW: MENAHEM NAHUM BEN MOSES MEISELS, 1634

Galican Rabbi Abraham Hayyim Schorr (d. 1632) is best known for his novellae to the Talmud published under the title Sefer torat hayyim. The work was based on the lectures he gave in his yeshiva and was primarily aimed at deciding the law between Rashi and the Tosafists when they argued. The first part, on Tractates Bava kamma, Bava metsi‘a, and Bava batra, was printed in Lublin in 1624 when Schorr served as head of the rabbinic court of Belz, while the present volume, on Tractates Eiruvin, Sanhedrin, Shevu‘ot, Avodah zarah, Hullin, and Pesahim, was published posthumously by members of his family. The two parts were combined for the first time in the edition published in Prague in 1692.
