Descripción

In Hebrew and Yiddish. (1), 199, (2) leaves. 205 x 175 mm. Only top third of title page is here, completed with a blank leaf. Half leather. Boards covered with marbled paper. Unlike many editions, this one has both the original Hebrew and a Judeo-German (Yiddish) translation. The Yiddish is at the bottom of each page and is printed in the traditional Vaybertaytsh script. Pages browned. Neat, very old Hebrew inscription in margin of 3 pages (Pey Dalet Recto, Kuf Nun verso, last page), see images heres: Arye Leib ben Moshe Kramer c/o Beba, widow of the late Rabbi Moshe [?Khatzkalt?]. Re-backed in half leather with new blank end papers. First published in Constantinople in 1712, this is the author's most famous work. Divided into 52 chapters based on the weeks of the year, the writings and sermons included here draw heavily on previous works such as Moses Hagis' "Or Kadmon", the "Tokahot" of the Spanish poets, the "Orhot Hayyim," and the "Rokeah" by Rabbi Eleazar of Worms. The author was born in Smyrna and was a leading rabbi there. R. Elijah's opposition to Shabbetai Zevi and his associates earned him much grief at home. He is best remembered for his ethical work Shevet Musar which has seen numerous editions and been translated into many languages. Bibliographic referece: Vinograd page 62. Amsterdam Number 1400.
