The title page was completed with a photocopy. Moth perforations and some worming tunnels. A perforation along several leaves, affecting the text. Varied blemishes. Good-fair general condition. New semi-leather binding, impressed.
The book is decorated with 2 stamps of Rabbeinu "Shmuel Salant" and 10 corrections and short glosses handwritten by him. Rabbeinu’s script is most rare, since he rarely wrote things and even his letters were written by others and then signed by him.
Maran the Gaon Rabbi Shmuel Salant (1816-1909) the son-in-law of Rabbi Yosef Zundel Salant, the founder of the Mussar movement. Immigrated to Jerusalem shortly after his great in-law.
