Seyag LaTorah, by Rabbi Ashel Anshil Worms Rofeh. Frankfurt am Main, 1766. Single edition. Rare. 

Seyag LaTorah, commentary on the Messorah, by Rabbi Ashel Anshil Worms Rofeh. Bierhoffer press, Frankfurt am Main, 1766. Single edition. Rare.

The author writes in his introduction to the book that he had sent its manuscript [to Rabbi Yosef ben David of Heilborn] to receive his opinion. Its content was subsequently stolen and published in the book Mevin Chidot (Amsterdam 1765 edition). The accusation entailed a denial by Rabbi Yosef, who published the books Merivat Kodesh and Prodogma Chadasha, blaming Rabbi Asher Anshil for spreading false accusations and pledging he had never seen the manuscript.
