Buyer's premium:

Sefer HaZohar on Genesis, as printed in Amsterdam previously. Segal printing, Shklov. 3, 251, 14 leaves. A rare copy of the Zohar not in the National Library.

Antique leather binding, repaired title page, stains and worming, overall fair to good condition.

The title page has stamps: “Avraham ben Rahag Rabbi Eliya’ Yoelsohn, Luzin, Vitebsk district” (probably referring to Rabbi Avraham Yoelsohn, author of the work Shlosha Srigim where he also quotes his father). The back of the binding has a note: “belongs to Rabbi Shmuel Aharon bar Aryeh Leib Kohen of Luzin”, probably the brother of the aforementioned.
