Passover Haggadah, with the Marbeh LeSaper commentary, by the famous Gaon Rabbi Yedidia Tia Weil.
Karlsruhe, 1791. First edition.
The sefer was printed anonymously, and Rabbi Yedidia Tia Weil even wrote an approbation to it (implying that he was not the author). However, it is known that he composed this work, as Rabbi Elazar Fleckeles writes in his sefer (Responsa Teshuvah MeAhavah, Orach Chaim section 239). The author’s name is alluded to in the preface. Furthermore, the author’s manuscript of this composition is held in the NLI’s manuscript collection (Heb. 8°2744).

The author, Rabbi Yedidia Tia Weil (1722-1806), leading Torah scholar of his times, son of Rabbi Netanel Weil author of Korban Netanel, and close disciple of Rabbi Yehonatan Eybeschutz. He exchanged halachic correspondence with the Noda BiYehuda and the Haflaa. He succeeded his father in 1770 as rabbi of Karlsruhe and of the State of Baden. His only work printed in his lifetime was his commentary to the Passover Haggadah – Marbeh LeSaper, yet he left behind dozens of manuscript compositions, which have been increasingly published in recent years.
