Buyer's premium:

1. Gnizei Nistarot, the first book published since the finding of the Kherson geniza in 1914, with many letters from the geniza (in the same year the book Chochmei Yisrael Baal Shem Tov was published in New York which included these same letters). Only a short time after appearing, the Kherson geniza disappeared as if it were never there, and this book is among the only sources for the letters taken from the geniza. Letters are from the time of the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mastrich, the Admor HaZaken the Tanya. Published by Rabbi Haim Eliezer Bichovsky. [4], 48, 64, 32 pages. Stains, very condition.


2. Sefer Pe’er LaYesharim, including two books inside: Torah Ohr, letters from the Ohr Yisrael of Ruzhin; and Derech Haim from Rabbi Refael of Bershid. Published by Yitzhak David HaLevi Rosenstein, only edition. Jerusalem 1921. 65 leaves. Stains, good condition.
