Lot 173
Birkat Avot – Hilula Rabah
Two early books by Rabbi Yossef Chaim of Baghdad author of "Ben Ish Chai".
1. Birkat Avot, commentary and implications on Tractate Avot. Livorno, 1865.
2. Hilula Rabah, study order for Lag Ba'omer. Livorno, 1877. New editing altering the order of the Zohar sections and addition of liturgical poems and prayers [additions and editing by Rabeinu Avraham Yossef as revealed in his book Leshon Chachamim, Part I, Jerusalem 1905, leaf 101 chapter 57].
82 leaves; 60 leaves. 18cm. Good condition, slight foxing marks.
It seems that the date is mistakenly noted and that both books were printed in the same printing press, on the same paper, in the same year. [In Winograd and Rosenfeld CD record 48651 the book Birkat Avot is wrongly referred to as published in 1844].
