Sefer HaZohar, Vayikra to Devarim, printed by Rabbi Moshe Shapira of Slavita (anonymously), in the same year as the books Noam Elimelech and Maor Einayim were printed in Slavita. “The printer elided his name on the title pages of the books and hid his identity…and the proofreaders names are also unknown”, see Friedberg, History of Hebrew Printings in Poland, p. 104.

The blank first leaves and title page have notes with kvitlach and azkarot, not checked thoroughly. 300 leaves. Tape with some missing part of page on the title page, moth damage, fair condition.
