Description		    Novellae on Shulhan Arukh Even ha-Ezer by R. Zevi Hirsch ben David Teomim. The title page describes it as two desirable commentaries written by R. Zevi Hirsch ben David of Broda when he resided in Kittsee, Hungary. The verso of the title pages has approbations from R. Mordecai Benet, R. Moses Mintz of Brod, and R. Moses Sofer (Hatam Sofer) of Pressburg. Next is R. Zevi Hirsch’s introduction and the caution against confusing contemporary gentiles with those from an earlier period when terms such as akum or nocri are used. The text follows, with the Shulhan Arukh Even ha-Ezer in the center, Te'omei Zeviyyah in the right hand column, and Erez Zevi in the left hand column, the latter two in rabbinic letters. Te'omei Zeviyyah is a commentary and explanation, Te'omei Zeviyyah are novellae and pilpul.

R. Zevi Hirsch ben David Teomim Brod (d. 1820) was a talmudic sage and scholar. His father resided in Hungary – Brod from which the family takes its name. After marrying R. Zevi Hirsch continued to learn while living in the home of his father-in-law, the philanthropist R. Jacob Bak until he was offered the position of rabbi in Szenice. In 1780, he was selected to be rabbi of Kittsee (Kopcseny), Hungary, where he served for about forty years and also headed a yeshivah. When a Hebrew press was founded in Vienna R. Zevi Hirsch hoped to print his works but lacked the means to do so; they were only published posthumously. Erez Zevi and Te’omei Zeviyyah (pt. 1, Vienna, 1823; pt. 2, Presburg, 1846) the first of his works to be published, was ready for publication by 1814. He also wrote Shenei Ofarim (Prague, 1825), sermons, published by his son Aaron.
