Auction 51
Lot 227:
Sefer Nofat Tzofim, midrashic maamarim with kabbalistic exegesis, a collection from the sefer Amudeha Shiva by Rabbi Betzalel bar Shlomo of Kovrin, brought to the printer by Rabbi Yehoshua Avraham bar Yisrael of Zhitomir, one of the first Chassidic publishers and author of the work Geulat Yisrael.
Printed in Lemberg by Yehudit Rosenish. The title page lists the year of printing as 1804, but researchers believe (and it accords with what is written at the top of the title page: “unprinted for more than 165 years”) it was printed only in 1830 (approx.). See more in A. Yaari, Printing House of the Rabbanit Yehudit Rosenish in Lviv, Kiryat Sefer, 17, 1940, p. 97 and 107, and the Mifal Bibliographia.
[2], 45 leaves. 22.5cm. From the collection of the bibliographer Yitzhak Yudlov. Wear, worming holes, slight tears in the margins with a little damage to text. New binding, overall good condition.
