Torah, Nevi’im, Ketubim. Jerusalem: Koren, 1963. First Edition. Three volumes.
Three-volume edition of the Koren Bible, printed in a large format on high-quality paper.
Eliyahu Koren (1907-2001), a typographer and graphic designer, was born in Nuremberg and studied in the art academy there. He immigrated to Palestine in 1933. He started his involvement with the design of the font "Koren" and with the printing of the bible when J. L. Magnes, then president of the Hebrew University, approached him about publishing a bible that was to be all "Jewish" – as far as the typography and design, editing, printing and binding were concerned. The font designed by Eliyahu Koren, based on the Aleppo Codex, won a competition for the project, and in 1946 the Hebrew University published the book of Jonah with this font. When Magnes passed away in 1951, the Bible re- printing project was abandoned; Koren then set himself to the task of establishing a publishing house where he would publish the Hebrew Bible on his own. Koren worked diligently on designing a special, clear and legible font, on correcting typesetting errors and on proofreading the bible meticulously, an assignment accomplished by the scholars Avraham Meir Habermann, Daniel Goldshmidt and Meir Madan. The text was arranged according to the Masoretic sedarim and the regular chapters were noted on the side.
When the bible was published David Ben-Gurion announced: "…this is the first, most exceptional, of all [Jewish] bibles published in the last 400 years".
Torah: [3] leaves, 327 pp. Nevi'im: [2] leaves, 589 pp, [1] leaf. Ketubim: [2] leaves, 374 pp, [1] leaf. 34 cm. Very good condition. A few stains.

Yung-Yiddish, Ferter-Finfter-Sexter Boigen (issues 4-6). Lodz: Yung-Yiddish, Kislev 1919. Yiddish. Numbered copy (out of 500 copies).
Issue of the periodical published by the Yung-Yiddish group active in Lodz ca. 1918-1921. The issue features poems, texts and linocuts by Mark Schwarz, Hanoch Berchinsky, Yitzhak Broiner, Marc Chagall, Moshe Broderzon, Uri Zvi Greenberg and others.
On the front cover is a short handwritten note signed "Pola" and dated 28.X.22. It was, presumably, written by Pola Lindenfeld (1900-1942. Murdered in the Lodz Ghetto), a contributor to the issue and member of the Yung-Yiddish group.
The issue was printed in 500 numbered copies; this being copy no. 357.
The illustrated publications of the Yung-Yiddish group attest to the synthetic experiments of Moishe Broderzon and the group. One of the outstanding achievements in this field is the periodical "Yung-Yiddish", published in 1919. The aspiration for mutual influence between text and graphics and the erasure of boundaries between literature and art was proclaimed in the periodical's subtitle: "Lider in Wart un Zeichnugen" ("Poems in Word and Paintings"). This aim dictated the journal's external appearance, which combines text with illustration. The journal's issues are reminiscent of Russian Futurist books; just like in Futurist publications, the graphics in "Yung-Yiddish" are is not merely illustrative, but rather constitute an independent component of the periodical.
[14] leaves, 34 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and creases. Tears to margins, some open; most restored. The journal's spine is restored. Inserted in a fine cardboard box.

Issues no. 1-12 of "Shtilim", an illustrated journal for children edited by the journalist Moshe Ben-Eliezer (9 booklets; some are double issues).

The journal was published in Moscow irregularly in the course of less than a year, featuring works by leading writers and poets, such as: H. N. Bialik, Shaul Tchernichovsky, Ya'akov Fichman, Eliezer Steinman, and others, alongside tales and translations from around the world, as well as news from Palestine and other parts of the world.

These are the only known illustrations by Lissitzky for a text originally written in Hebrew.
