Buyer's premium:

Sefer Menorat HaMaor, an antique work which is foundational in Mussar and philosophy, by Rabbi Yitzhak Abuhav HaSfardi. With translation into Yiddish for the benefit of “the masses of our people who are not proficient in the Holy Tongue”. Amsterdam lettering but printed in Frankfurt der Oder. 6, 288 leaves in the original—this copy is missing a number of pages from the beginning. We only found a copy at the National Library.

No front binding, binding detached, worming holes and damage, overall poor condition.
