Yalkut Shimoni two parts. Part one on the Five Books of the Torah. Part two, on Nevi’im and Ketuvim. By Rabbi Shimon HaDarshan of Frankfurt. On the title page of the first part is an impressive copper engraving with pictures of angels and cherubs, the figures of Moshe and Aharon and a depiction of David striking Goliath. A separate floral title page for the second part.

Stamped with the stamp of “Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Weiss of Spinka”. Ownership inscriptions on the title page of the first part, and on the last part of the second part. | The Rebbe Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Weiss [1915-1988], grandson of the author of ‘Chakal Yitzchak’ of Spinka.

He was one of the foremost Rebbes of Bnei Brak. He lived alternately in Israel and America. | Part one: [3], 313 leaves. Part two: [2], 190 leaves. 32 cm. | Overall condition: Very good.
