Lot 25:
Sefer Yesod Tshuva, a small interesting book with the Tshuva for all kinds of Aveirot, by Rabbi Yitzchak ben Rabbi Moshe Elis. And with matters which "בזכירתן להשיב האד’ מן העבירה כגון חבוט הקבר וצוואת רבינו יהודה חסיד…". On the title page, the author writes: "בהיות כי האדם נכון ומזומן למועדי רגל לחטוא כענין שנ’ כי אדם אין צדיק בארץ אשר יעשה טוב ולא יחטא, ראיתי להדפיס ספר זה…".
An edition in the author’s lifetime – Venice, 1718. The book was printed several times beforehand, sometimes titled Yoreh Chata’im. In the National Library, the book appears in the Rare Book Collection. The author’s foreword was printed on the title page itself. In the book, he introduces 64 types of Aveirot and the way to repent for them.
Card binding. Stains and moth perforations. Taping on the two last leaves affecting the text. Tears to some leaves. The cutting of the leaves during the printing process affected some of the headings. Good overall condition.
