Opening: $2,000
Unsold
Sefer Lu’ach Birkat HaNehenin [blessings made upon food, drink, pleasant odors or other pleasurable items] and Seder Netilat Yadayim [ritual washing of hands], by Alter Rebbe Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi. [Zholkva, 1801]. Second edition printed during lifetime of author, based upon 1800 Shklov publication, which is no longer in existence.
This is the Kamma [first] edition which was printed in several editions before the rebbe printed the expanded and corrected Batra [last] edition in the prayer book, which was printed in 1803. Apparently, the first edition which was printed in Shklov was archived by instruction of the Alter Rebbe, however additional editions were printed between 1801-1804 in Zholkva and Lvov and additional places.
[Missing title page], 2-27, [1] leaves. 18 cm. Fair condition, wear and damage on margins. Minor moth stains. Unbound.
