light these
previously unknown annotations as part of a critical
edition of Noda\’
bi-Yehudah. The original printed text is Ezekiel
Landau\’s Noda\’
bi-Yehudah, printed in Prague in 1776, and the
annotations are of his
disciple Isaac Grishaber. The original document is part
of the National
Library of Canada\’s Jacob M. Lowy Collection of rare
Hebraic and Judaic
texts.
\”The National Library of Canada is proud to be part of
this important
project,\” said Roch Carrier. \”We have made every effort
to enable this
material to be brought to the attention of the scholarly
community. At the
same time, we have taken all measures to ensure the
integrity and
preservation of the original document.\”
Rabbi Ezekiel Landau was widely influential as Chief
Rabbi of Prague, and is
regarded as one of the great 18th century authorities on
Jewish law. His
disciple, Rabbi Isaac Grishaber was a Rabbi in Paks,
Hungary, and is the
author of a treatise on dietary law, Makel No\’am, 1799.
