Tehillim (the Book of Psalms) with Ma'amadot – Slavita, 1824 – Extremely Rare! Has Never been Seen in Auctions!
Tehillim with Ma'amadot. A separate title page for the Ma'amadot. Slavita, [1824].
Printed by Rabbi Shmuel Avraham Shapira the son of the rabbi of Slavita.
Bluish paper.
An extremely rare edition, a complete copy of which has never been seen in auctions. To this day, copies containing only the Ma'amadot were offered for sale and they too were lacking copies! The section of the Tehillim has never appeared in auctions!
(Once a copy which lacked its title page was offered for sale yet it was noted that there was doubt whether it was the 1824 edition)
Before us is an almost complete copy of Tehillim with the Ma'amadot!
The only leaves that are missing from the rare copy before us are the following:
The title page and leaves [2] 1, 2, 3, 4. In addition, leaves 82-89 and leaf 92 are also missing. Except for these, no other leaves are missing from the section of Tehillim and its ends with leaf 184.
The section of the Ma'amadot contains a complete title page and all the leaves except for the last one (44).
Condition: Many leaves are in nice, reasonable condition; however, many others are in fair condition. Moth damage and tears with omissions in several leaves.
