Hardcover. Condizione: Good. In Hebrew. 2 leaves only: tet vav and tet zayin = 15, 16. 237 x 190 mm. Yudlov 92. Yaari 60. This segment deals, in full, with the story of the Four Sons. This is the first appearance of the commentary by the Shela'"h ha-Kadosh, R. Isaiah Halevy Horowitz. Also commentaries: Mateh Aharon by Aaron Te'omim Darshan; and Ketonet Pasim by Joseph ben Moses Hadarshan of Przemysl. The Four Sons are the focus of one of the most beloved and intriguing stories in the Paasover Haggadah, the book read and sung at the Passover Seder. It's a short fable about four boys at the Seder table and how they're treated by their father. One is wise, one is wicket, one is simple, and one doesn't know how to ask questions. The fable has been revised relentlessly over the centuries, in words, in art, in music, until it must be right up there with Shakespeare's plays among the most re-interpreted tales ever told. Why so many versions? Because Passover and its Seder are really about passing on heritage, or any belief, to your children. And The Four Sons story suggests how to do that, as many suggestions as there are versions.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. In Hebrew, with instructions in Yiddish. 7, 45 leaves, for a total of 104 pages. Complete but page numbering is faulty. The final leaf of the second section should be numbered 45, not 52. 237 x 190 mm. Blank margins restored. Restored and rebound by a master bookbinder/restorer. Yudlov 92. Yaari 60. Chiluka Derabanan. With abstract from Isaiah Horowitz's "Shnei Luchoth Habrith," commentaries by Aaron Teomim and Kethoneth Pasim by Yosef ben Moshe Hadarshan [= Joseph son of Moses the preacher] of Przemysl. With approbation of Council of the Four Lands and the chief Rabbis of Amsterdam. Title within architectural arch with typographic surround. Upper margins frayed affecting some headlines, a few stains; some tape repairs. This is the first appearance of the commentary by the Shela'"h ha-Kadosh, R. Isaiah Halevy Horowitz. One leaf has a small area that has been restored. Corrected and supervised by Samuel Texeira. The title, Haluka de-Rabbanan, referring to garments of the soul (robes of the sages) is from a kabbalsitic concept to be found in R. Jacob ben Nissim's (eleventh century) Hibbur Yafeh min ha-Yeshu'ah, often an allusion to the soul's good deeds. The title page, copying the text from the earlier edition, states that it was written by the "great [rabbinic] lights" (Genesis 1:16). They are "more precious than fine gold and rubies" (cf. hakafot Simhat Torah). And all three intended on one thing, and they are as three works that come as one and instruct with aggadic concepts that draw the heart of a man, sweet and desirable: One is Shenei Luhot ha-Berit, another Matteh Aharon, and another the small light, Kattunot Passim. I will bless (bend the knee before) the heart of the sages, tender in years, and honor the name of the author of Matteh Aharon, he is R. Aaron Teomim, darshan and av bet din, Mainz, and av bet din and rosh mesivta, Cracow; and honor the name of the author of Ketonet Passim, rav, great darshan, and dayyan in Przemyzsl, and author of Zafenat Pa'ne'ah he-Hadash, and I will bless R. Joseph ben the pious R. Moses, grandson of R. Abraham Ashkenazi descended from Rashi. . . .…
