Lot 220:
Volume containing two books, pocket format:
1. Sefer Haroke’ach, the famed moral work by Rabbi Eliezer ben Yehuda of Worms, one of the Rishonim who lived and operated din the 12th-13th century, a descendant of the family of Admorim of Belz whose family name is also Roke’ach. Printed in Lemberg, 1858. [39] leaves.
2. Otiyot Derabbi Yitzchak, an interesting Kabbalistic work on the Hebrew alphabet by the Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac ben Yaakov Halevi, a Shochet of Zorovitz. Although the work is a Kabbalistic one, the title page indicates it is meant for all, even those who have not yet studied the Ari’s books: "ספר הקדוש הלז הוא שוה לכל נפש שבישראל ואף מי שלא למד עדיין ספרי האר"י זלה"ה רק אפס קצהו יכנס בלבו דברי המחבר..".
Shadov Press, Zhytomyr, 1865. 56 leaves.
Ancient leather binding, worn. The two books are detached one from the other but not from the binding. Stains. Good overall condition.
On the front flyleaf, an ancient Ashkenazic notation: "שייך להב’ המופלג בתורה… יעקב אליעזר גליק נ"י אני הכותב הק’ מרדכי במהר"א ברודא" . Beneath it, in slightlyu different ink and script, the date "יום ג’ אסרו חג שבועות קץ גלות לפ"ק" – 1869.
Varied foreign stamps with the name: "KOHN SALAMON NAGYVARAD". In addition, two Hebrew stamps with the name Yaakov Eliezer Glick – all these have not been thoroughly studied.
