Magnificent Copy: Torah Ohr. Zhitomir, 1862. Original Red Leather Binding
Sefer Torah Ohr - Kabbalistic-Chassidic sermons on the Torah by the founder of Chaba"d Chassidism, the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi. Edited by his brother, Rabbi Yehudah Leib of Yanovitch. Printed by Rabbi Chananyah Lipa and Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Shapira, grandsons of the rabbi of Slavuta. Zhitomir, 1862. Important edition of the book; many subsequent editions were printed based on it.
The book Hosafot L'Sefer Torah Ohr was printed for the first time at the end of this volume - Likkutei Amarim said by the Alter Rebbe and written by his son, the Mittler Rebbe, Rabbi Dov Ber. This is the first edition of Hosafot L'Sefer Torah Ohr. Zhitomir, 1862.
The first book has two title pages. The first title page bears the name of the book and the place of print in red ink. Some of the supplements were printed as a work in its own right with a special title page (for a total of three title pages). Beautiful etching at the end of each of the two works.
The book is bound in the original extremely impressive red leather binding with beautiful imprints. It is very rare to find Zhitomir prints in their original bindings and in such fine condition.
204; 48 p. Approximately 27 cm. High-quality paper. Unidentified owner's notation on the front flyleaf.
Fine-very fine condition. Slight aging stains on several leaves. Original leather binding with imprints. The imprints were originally painted in a gold color that wore out over the years. Abrasions and isolated worming perforations in the binding. Blemishes and "bangs"in the corners of the binding.
