The work Tshuva Miyirah handwritten by the Gaon Rabbi Eliyahu David Rabinowitz Teomim, the Aderet. [37] large pages. Ponovezh, [1872].

This work is the beginning of a letter written by the Aderet to his brother, rabbi Hirsch Leib Teomim Av Beis Dinb of Rogali. This letter appears as a response in his book Shut Ohalei David and was printed at the beginning of the book Tshuvah Miyirah, Jerusalem, [1906]. pp. 1-16, with some variations. The letter itself contains innovations and comments on Halahcot about which the Rambam used the expression ‘יראה לי’.
