Description		    Encyclopedic work on Talmudic subjects, including Talmudic methodology by R. Joseph Hayyim ben Judah Kohen. The title page has a decorative border with verses set within its lines on all four sides, all utilizing the word minhah. The text describes this volume, as part two of the entire work (part one was published separately in 1902) based on the words the author collected from the works of early and later sages (rishonim and achronim). He arranged their sayings in alphabetic order according to the alef bet, for “There is no wisdom, nor understanding” (Proverbs 21:30) except for labor. The title page includes the disclaimer that the gentiles of our day are not like those in previous times and references to the latter are not meant to impugn the former. It is dated with the verse, “For every meal offering for the priest shall be wholly burned; it shall not be eaten” (Leviticus 6:16). The verso of the title page has the names of individuals who supported publication of Minhat Kohen. It is followed by three pages of approbations from leading rabbis, among them such Torah giants as R. Hayyim Berlin, R. Saul ha-Levi Horowitz, and R. Joseph Hayyim Sonnenfeld. There is an introduction from R. Joseph Hayyim and then the text, which is in two columns in rabbinic letters, excepting headers and initial words. The volume concludes with indexes of the contents and sources.
