Tehillim. Zhitomir, 1849. Copy that Belonged to Tzaddikim of the Lelov Dynasty
Tehillim printed at the press of the brothers Rabbi Chanina Lipa, Rabbi Aryeh Leib and R' Yehoshua Heschel Shapira, grandsons of the rabbi of Slavuta. Zhitomir, 1849. Owners' signatures. Pedigree copy - belonged to the tzaddikim of the Lelov dynasty.
Owner's notation on the flyleaf: "Yitzchak David Biderman" and another inscription, stating that the book belongs to Rabbi Betzalel Yeshayah Bernstein. In the other parts of the set, also for sale in this catalog, there are clear owner's inscriptions: "Belongs to Rabbi Yitzchak David Biderman" - such that it is clear that this Tehillim also belonged to him.
It is well-known that sifrei kodesh printed at the Shapira family's press, especially their Tehillim and siddurim, were preferred by leading Admo"rim and their followers (in particular by Skver Chassidut). Over the generations, many favored reciting Tehillim specifically from the Zhitomir edition.
Refer to the Hebrew catalog text for brief biographies of Rabbi Yitzchak David Biderman and of Betzalel Yeshayah Bernstein.
Specifications: Kitvei Kodesh Part V, Tehillim and Mishlei, with Targum, Rash"i's commentary and the commentaries Metzudat David and Metzudat Tziyon. With a Yiddish translation. Two title pages, the first is in red and black ink. Additional signatures: Eliezer Lieber son of Rabbi Meir Leib Fishman (?).
Fine condition. Aging stains. New leather binding.
