Description

This text was prepared by William Gross:

Commentary and novellae on the Talmud, by Yaakov Yehoshua b. Tzvi Hirsch Falk, 1680–1756, a Polish and German rabbi and Talmudist, served as a rabbi in several communities, including Lvov. His commentary is one of the classic works of the era of Acharonim, and remains an important book in the study of Talmud.

The book's printer, Naftali Hertz Grossman, was the son of the famous female printer, Judith Rosanes (who was herself the great-grandaughter of the renowned printer Uri Phoebus). Although his mother ran her successful press in Lemberg, Naftali established his own printing house in that city beginning in 1797. Upon his death in 1827, Naftali's wife, Chave Grossman, continued running the press until 1849. When she died, the press was continued by her daughter Feige, who ran the business until at least 1857.
Grossman's mark (Ya'ari 194) shows a popularly-employed architectural monument flanked by urns and topped by a bird holding a branch in its beak. The oval cartouche in the center holds his monogram; his full name is within the frame around the oval.
