Takanat HaShavim, words of encouragement and inspiration for repentance, by R. Chaim Yitzchak Aharon Rappaport, the Magid of Vilkomir. [Jerusalem: the Shovavim society, ca. 1890].


Apparently, this edition was printed without a title page, and was not completed.
A letter to the author was printed on the first leaf, by the gabbai and managers of the Shovavim holy society, R. Moshe Slatky and R. Aharon Bruckenstein, with a request to reprint the booklet which was first printed about one year previously (see Sh. Halevy, no. 687).


[5] leaves. 21 cm. Dry paper. Fair-good condition. Stains. Tears, including minor open tears, affecting the text in several places, repaired with paper (many repairs around margins of some leaves). New binding.
Sh. Halevy, no. 741.
