Description

Mint condition, out of print, and kept in storage since purchase! This book has become incredibly difficult to find and nearly impossible to track down in this unused and mint condition. Two copies available. Buy both and get 10% off! Now out of print, "The Gaon of Vilna and His Cousinhood" (1997) is the most comprehensive genealogical study ever published on the Vilna Gaon, Polish-Lithuanian Rabbi Elijah ben Solomon Zalman (1720-1797), also known as the father of modern Talmudic thought. It traces his ancestry back to figures like Petachiah of Prague and David Ashkenazi of Krakow. The book also highlights the geographical dispersion of the Gaon's descendants to the present day, noting their presence in the U.S., United Kingdom, Israel, and beyond. This book is the culmination of over four decades of investigative study of rare books and manuscripts, trips to libraries and cemeteries, travel and correspondence by Dr. Neil Rosenstein, a globally renowned expert on rabbinical dynasties. It also includes contributions by genealogist descendents of the Vilna Gaon.
