Detailed
Description		    Only edition of the polemical work in defense of Judaism by R. Solomon Zalman Zevi Hirsch ben Eliezer of Oppeheizen. The title page states that it is a healing righteousness for Israel from the whip of Saemuel (Satan) Friedrich Maiting, who spoke and wrote to mislead on them in his book Nahash ha-Beriah Der jüdisch Schlangenbalg. And he explains with correct proofs and faithful testaments from the Bible, Mishneh, and Talmud that all his words are, “lies and falsehood” (cf. Michah 2:11). It further informs that this work was originally written in Ashkenaz (Yiddish) more than three hundred years ago (Juedischer abgestreifter Schlang-Balg, 1614.) and is now translated into Hebrew by Abraham ben Joseph Kamenezky. It quotes from Proverbs 15:4, “A wholesome tongue (marpeh lashon) is a tree of life; but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.” There is an introduction form the translator, a page of verse from him, the author’s introduction, a page with three cellalim, and then the text, set in a single column in square unvocalized letters. Marpeh Lashon is divided into seven parashat, which in turn are subdivided into sections. Most, but not all, of theparasat have headings explaining their contents, for example, no. 6, which is explains that Saemuel neither knows or understands anything from the Talmud, for the aggadot are not to be understood literally, and even the בהאוואנגעליום neither read nor comprehend anything from it.
