Der Blofer, der vokhenblat far vits, humor un satire [The Bluffer, a weekly magazine for jokes, humor and satire] edited by Pinkhes Kats. Forty-nine issues bound together. Warsaw: Central Press, 1929. Yiddish.
A volume of issues of the satirical weekly "Der Blofer". Issues no. 1-53 from the fourth year, except issues 9, 16, 28 and 35. Each title page feature a large caricature, followed by dozens of caricatures and small illustrations. The title pages of the Holiday issues are printed in color.
The humorist weekly "Der Blofer" was published in Warsaw by the publisher Shlomo Zucker and was edited by the publicist and humorist Pinkhes Kats (1891-1942). Published during the years 1926-1930 (an exceptionally long period for a Yiddish satirical weekly at the time), it introduced highly blatant and biting humor: folk jokes ("From the Treasure of Jewish Humor", "Tales of Helm"), political humor, an erotic section and even a humorous section of "Obituaries". The weekly's manifesto (which was published in the first issue) states: "In times when the entire world is bluffing mercilessly, in times when 'bluff, bluff, bluff above all' has become the slogan of half of humanity… Der Blofer alone is honest, open, visible, an unhidden bluffer! It is the only bluffer in the world to call itself by its real name".
See: The Cheerful Pessimism, Yiddish Humorous-Satirical Journalism in Poland between the Two World Wars (Hebrew) by Marian Fuks ("Kesher", issue 21, Tel Aviv: Tel Aviv University, 1997, pp. 80-90).

"HaLohem" [The Fighter], biweekly of the organization "Hovevei Sefat Ever" [Lovers of the Hebrew Language] in Korets, edited by Nagil. Korets, July 7, 1931. Third year, Issue No. 1 (25).
Wall journal – a large broadside, written and decorated by hand. Includes articles, poems, and selections of prose by Mordechai Bassiuk, Yitzhak Gecht (Dagoni), and others.
The Hovevei Sefat Ever association was established in 1928 by a group of teenagers, 14-15 years of age, in the small city of Korets, Poland (today in Ukraine). Its goal was to familiarize the local Jewish townspeople with the Hebrew language. In the memorial book dedicated to the Jewish community of Korets, Yitzhak Gecht (Dagoni) writes the following with regard to the establishment of the Hovevei Sefat Ever association and the publication of the journal "HaLohem": "We gathered in the evenings, we sang, we read, we listened to lectures, and we spent time together. We thirsted for activity. As our first act, we adopted a resolution to commit ourselves to converse in Hebrew, at home and on the street […] In the context of cultural activity, the journal – which appeared for three consecutive years – assumed a prominent role. In the first year it was published as a biweekly, in the second as a monthly, and in the third as a wall journal. The journal – though today it may seem to us to have been the inchoate product of youthful mischief – served, in its day, as an important mouthpiece that cemented the bonds between most members of the organization" ("Koretz [Volhynia], Memorial Book [dedicated] to Our Community, Which Was Annihilated," edited by Eliezer Leoni, published by the Association of Former Residents of Korets in Israel, Tel Aviv, 1959 [Hebrew], pp. 233-37).

2. Edict issued by Friedrich Wilhelm I, King of Prussia, containing eight ordinances pertaining to the commerce and trade being conducted on Prussian territory. Berlin, August 24, 1713.

[4] ff. (7 printed pages), 32.5 cm. Good condition. Fold lines. Stains, creases, and minor tears to edges. Handwritten notation (dated 1713) to verso of last leaf.

Geschichte Der Juden in Stadt und Land Salzburg, von den frühesten Zeiten bis auf die Gegenwart [The History of the Jews in the City and State of Salzburg, from the earliest times to the present], by Adolph Altman. Berlin: Louis Lamm, 1912. German and some Hebrew. First edition.
The first part of the dissertation submitted by Rabbi Adolph Altman to the Faculty of Philosophy at the Bern University in Switzerland, reviewing the history of the Jews of Salzburg until their deportation in 1498.
With four plates: two plates depicting tombstones in the Jewish cemetery in Friesach from the 13th–14th centuries and two plates depicting the interior of the ancient Jewish synagogue of Salzburg.
In 1913 and 1930, respectively, two additional parts of the dissertation were printed, dealing with the history of the Jews of Salzburg up until the early 20th century.
Rabbi Adolph (Avraham) Altman was born in 1879 in Unsdorf (today Huncovce, Slovakia). He studied six years at the yeshiva of Rabbi Shmuel Rosenberg in Unsdorf and later at the Pressburg Yeshiva (and was even ordained as a rabbi by the head of the Pressburg Yeshiva, Rabbi Simcha Bunim Sofer, author of the "Shevet Sofer"). In Pressburg, Altman discovered Zionism and started delivering lectures on Zionism at yeshiva students' meetings. In addition, he started writing in Jewish journals in German. During the years 1907-1914, he served as the rabbi of the Salzburg community and during World War I served as a military rabbi in the Austrian Army. In 1920, he received a rabbinic position in Trier, Germany and served as a rabbi there until 1938, when he moved to Holland. In March 1943, he and his wife were deported to Amsterdam and in May 1944 were sent to the Auschwitz Extermination Camp, where they perished.
68 pp. + [4] plates, 21 cm. Good condition. Tears and minor blemishes to edges of several leaves. Unopened sheets. New binding and endpapers, with original cover laid down (torn at edges and incomplete). Ex-library copy (stamp to last page, pen notation and paper sleeve to first blank page).
