Book of Psalms with Antique Shviti Amulet on Parchment, and Yiddish translation. Amsterdam 1724. Antique Leather Binding with Silver Clasps.
Silver clasps marked and dated 1736.
Sefer Tehillim with Yiddish translation.
Unknown edition. Apparently not in the National Library of Israel.
On the inside covers and endpapers are numerous birth and death records inscribed by various owners in the 18th and 19th centuries.
A rare 18th-century amulet on parchment accompanies the book. It originally hung, bookmark-like, from a woven cord attached to the book's inner spine. This rare miniature Shviti shows an exceptionally fine micrographic menorah, executed by a gifted Ashkenazic scribe-artist. A true work of art.
Amsterdam 1724.
196 – 1-11 [1] leaves. 12.5 cm.
A very special and beautiful edition. Original leather binding with silver clasps.
