Tziluta D'Avraham, First Edition Edited by the 'Arvei Nachal' with his Novellae

Sefer Tziluta D'Avraham, also called Chiddushei Maharam"a. Novellae on most Talmudic tractates by Rabbi Moshe Avraham Abush Margaliot, av beit din of Zhabno, brother and teacher of the gaon Rabbi Meir Margaliot, av beit din of Ostroh, author of Meir Netivim. [Sudylkiv, 1811 - but should be 1821.] 

The book was edited by his disciple, the sacred gaon Rabbi David Shlomo Eibeschutz, author of Arvei Nachal and Levushei Srad. His novellae are scattered along the sefer, and its introduction speaks very highly of him. This Rabbi David married the author's granddaughter.

With an approbation by his nephew, Rabbi Betzalel Margaliot, av beit din of Ostroh; Rabbi Mordechai Margaliot of Brody; and Rabbi Moshe HaLevi Horowitz av beit din of Volochysk, author of Sefer Emek HaShedim. The latter writes in his approbation "I recall that they would say that this sefer is deep like the Mahara"m Schiff, and I looked into some compilations and saw that it is very deep ..."

Over the years, it has been accepted that the book was printed in Ostroh, but the renowned Chaba"d bibliographer R' Chaim Lieberman proved that it was printed in Sudylkiv. (Ohel Rache"l Part I, p. 459-460).
