Degel Machaneh Ephraim on the Torah by Rabbi Moshe Haim Ephraim, the Av Beit Din of Sadilkov, grandson of the Baal Shem Tov. This edition was the third edition, after Koritz 1810 and Berdichev 1815 (there is a chance that this edition came out prior to the Berdichev edition). The Bibliographic Database lists it 0176993. Especially wonderful copy printed on light-green and light-blue paper. [2], 28, [38], 2, [6] leaves. Moth holes in a number of lone pages, excellent condition.


The title page has signature and stamps of Rabbi “Yonatan Binyamin Folk of Spinka.” He was a student of the Ktav Sofer and Michtav Sofer, son-in-law of Rabbi Ezra Yaakov Bosh of Spinka. After his early death his widow married Rabbi Yosef Meir Weiss, the 1st Admor of Spinka.

Additional signatures “Moshe Folk of Spinka” “Asher Schlechter of Spinka” and other notes.
