Auction 34
Lot 172:
Work on the torah with likkutei Megillot, Neviim, Ketuvim, and Shas by the Admor Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Lainer of Izhvitza, brought to light by his grandson, the Admor Rabbi Gershon Chanoch Heinich (the Techelet). First edition, printed by Lord Adalbert della Torre. According to Gershom Scholem: “According to Rabbi Shragai this was actually printed in Jozefof, and I am in doubt, since the letters are truly Vienna types as in printings by della Torre and are not Jozefof printings, from what I can tell.” Stefanski Chassidut 340. 66, 26, [1] leaves. The last page is a rare green jacket about which Gershom Scholem writes: “The jacket is missing in almost all copies. Faded signatures of ownership on the title page (weren’t checked). Moth damage, stains and detached pages. Binding appears to be original and is worn and detached. Overall poor to fair condition.
