Yaarot Devash, Part I, homily and ethics, by R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz. Vienna, 1818.
An engraved portrait of the author appears at the beginning of the volume: "Portrait of the rabbi and outstanding Torah scholar, R. Yehonatan, rabbi and dean of the Three Communities [Altona, Hamburg and Wandsbek]".
The engraved portrait of R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz was published in 1764/1765, shortly after his passing, with the caption: "Portrait of R. Yehonatan, rabbi and dean of the Three Communities - produced by the physician Elimelech Pulder son of Shimshon, in 5525". The engraving featured in this book is a later engraving, by the artist Jos. Seher, and it is based on the portrait by Dr. Elimelech Pulder of Hamburg. It is interesting to note that R. Yaakov Emden (fierce opponent of R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz), expressed his disapproval of this portrait (which, as mentioned, was produced shortly after his passing), accusing the disciples of R. Yehonatan Eybeschutz of being over-enthusiastic about the portrait of their teacher: "…and at the end of Elul he passed away. They made of him a portrait painted with vermilion, and they hug and kiss it. One of them placed the paper with the portrait in his Chumash in the place of the Ten Commandments" (Megillat Sefer, Bombach edition, Jerusalem 2012, pp. 229-230).
[2], 2-100 leaves. 26.5 cm. Greenish paper. Good-fair condition. Dampstains. Light wear and tears. Old binding, damaged.
