Buyer's premium:

Printed page with an amulet and holy names “for preservation from a plague, rachmana litzlan [God forbid]. Tried and tested by the Rabbi Moharar Moshe Teitelbaum [the Yismach Moshe].”

Several versions of this amulet were printed at the end of the 5600s in various places in Hungary and its surroundings, but it appears that this page was printed earlier, around the 1880s-90s, at the printing house of Mendel Wieder, who worked then in Sighet.

Tears in the margins. Folding creases and tape.
