Siddur HaShalom, year round prayers, "Edited by the Head of the Religious Community of Moscow, Rabbi Shlomoג€¦ Shleifer". Moscow, 1956. Magnificent copy with cover printed in Hebrew and Russian. On the page before the title, a handwritten dedication is written in the name of Rabbi Shlomo Shleifer from Moscow, 1957.
This siddur was published by the religious community of Moscow, under the eyes of the Communist rule who preferred that the synagogue in Moscow continue its activities for the whole world to see, but only by the elderly belonging to the old world. The siddur was printed without a Russian translation to prevent Russian youth from being attracted to Judaism. [On Page 71 an interesting censor correction is found - in Al HaNissim, "al hamilchamot" (on the wars) was erased from the copy].
On page 2, title page in Russian. On page 479, introduction in Russian. Pages 5-6, introductions on prayer and peace. Pages 7-12, learning to read and Russian transcription of the Hebrew alphabet and Hebrew vowels.
479 pages. 26 cm. Good condition. Original fabric covers.

Maimonides' Mishna commentary, Seder Taharot. Napoli, 1492. Yehoshua Shlomo Soncino. First edition.
Thousands of glosses, correcions, additions and omissions, scholarly remarks and illustrations in old, legible Oriental handwriting from the time of print. Based on the content, it is obvious that all of the above was written by an outstanding Torah scholar who learned the Seder Taharot in great depth. There are also a couple of captions and inscriptions in Yemenite handwriting [from later times, c. 17th century].
This first edition of the Maimonides Mishna commentary on Seder Taharot is known to have many errors and missing parts, all editions following this one were copied from the present edition with its mistakes, except for additions later made in the Venice editions of 1546 and Mantua 1563. The present manuscript contains numerous corrections and additions, most of which do not appear in any other edition.
Compared to the translated versions printed recently [the Kappach and Korach versions], the present manuscript seems far more precise both in the commentary translation and depiction.
The present manuscript with its additions and corrections was copied from earlier and more precise versions of that manuscript, from translations of the Mishna commentary written at the time of the Rishonim and it contains numerous additions that can't be found in any other edition.
Complete copy, [86] leaves. 36 cm. Fair condition, extensive, professionally restored moth damage with paper paste and fillings. White, luxurious leather binding.

Mishneh Torah L'Rambam, (the volume of Zemanim is almost complete, most of volumes Nashim and Kedusha, and several leaves of volumes Mada and Ahava). [Soncino, 1490].
The sheets have long inscriptions in early Ashkenazi handwriting (characteristic of the printing period, end of 15th century), most are Hagahot Maimoni'ot with appendices and different from the printed version, some of the glosses end with "by Rabbi Shalit" and some end with "the Ramach".
Hagahot Maimoni'ot, are appendices to the Rambam, written by Ashkenazi scholars from the Beit Midrash of the Maharam of Rottenberg, containing a compilation of appendices according to the words of Rashi, Tosfot and the Maharam of Rottenberg and Ashkenazi scholars. This work based on the Ramach (Rabbi Meir HaCohen) disciple of the Maharam of Rottenberg, has undergone additional editing by Ashkenazi scholars. Two versions of editions appear in print and several others in manuscripts. These glosses first appeared in the Rambam edition printed in Constantinople (1509) and are known as "Hagahot Maimoni'ot Constantinople". Hagahot Maimoni'ot printed in the Rambam edition in Venice (1524) have an entirely different version from the Constantinople edition, and these are the glosses printed in all Rambam editions until today.
From initial comparison it seems that the glosses in this manuscript are more similar to the version of Hagahot Maimoni'ot printed in Venice but they have many variations and full sections not found in the printed version. We also note that apparently these glosses were copied from an early manuscript where the Maharam of Rottenberg is still mentioned as "my teacher he shall live long (still alive)", different from the later manuscripts and printed editions.
Additionally, this manuscript has inscriptions and glosses in Yemenite handwriting [c. 17th century].
Approx. 85 leaves (originally: 380 leaves) + one leaf of replacement in Yemenite handwriting. Approx. 30-32 cm. Varied condition, fair to poor, detached leaves, stains, wear and moth damage. The glosses are faded with omissions from wear to the text of the glosses.
