Buyer's premium:

Resisei HaMelitza, second section, by the poet and linguist connected with the Haskala movement—David Zamosc. Artistic poetry about the events from his life and stories from Chazal, like the famous judgement of Solomon and the Maaseh Norah that appears in Tosafot Kiddushin, leaf 80b.
First (seem to be the only) edition, Dyhernfurth 1822. [14], 116, [5] pages. We found copies only in two libraries.


The title page has written from the author: “In this section I added poems…from the melitzim…Ziskind Roshkow HaLevi, and from the sage … Mordechai Roch, and from … Refael Firstentahl.”

Healthy paper, pocket edition, doodles in pen in a few places without covering the text, overall good condition.
