Hirsch Summary
A had bequeathed his entire estate to B, the husband of his only daughter, instead of a dowry. However, he later married a wealthy widow who brought him 300,000 fl.. She died giving birth to a son. A, overwhelmed with grief over his wife's death, became mentally ill and died soon after her. The guardian of the young son wanted to give B only one-tenth of A's inheritance, as the old bequest lost its legal effect due to the birth of a son. Moses ben Samuel Israel awards B only one-tenth of A's estate.
