Rabbi Meir of Rothenburg, his life and his works, by Irving A. Agus. Philadelphia, 1947

Q. A firstling was born to a priest who is a poor man; is he permitted to give it to a rich priest? A. If the rich priest is willing to accept the firstling, the owner is permitted to give it to him. The rich priest, however, may refuse to accept the firstling from a brother priest since, in this case, the giving constitutes a secular donation, which may be refused. SOURCES: L. 188; Tashbetz 385. Cf. Weil, Responsa 127.
