About this Item

In Hebrew. 38 leaves. 196 x 155 mm. The book deals with the building of the Bet HaMikdash (the Temple of Solomon) and its utensils. Old, small, neat Hebrew inscription at top margin of Hebrew title page: Hatza'ir Issachar Baer ben adoni avi kevod harav Rabbi Chaim KLIF [derived from Kleve, a German town near the Dutch border, not very far from Wesel, Germany] Shalita = sheyikheye lekhayim tovima, amen]. Margin of Latin title page has an attractive the rubber stamp impression, in Hebrew: Yehuda Leib ben kevod harav Rabbi Yitzhak Yaakov, zikhron Tzadik leverakha me-Wesel. Shnat taf kuf nun khet [=1798]." Apparently the rabbi's family originated in Kleve and moved to Wesel at some point in time. 4 leaves have very, very minor worming, affecting a few words. At the beginning of the work are printed three licenses granting the author the sole right (copyright of sorts) to publish this book for fifteen years. 1. The Nobles of the country of Zeeland (Zilandiya). 2. The netzivim klaliyim of the country. 3. A 1642 license (in its Hebrew translation) by the nobles of Holland. Includes poems by Rabbi Shaul Mortira, the chief judge of the religious court in Amsterdam, Rabbi Yitzhak Aboav, Rabbi Shmuel ben Avraham Yeshurun HaRofe, Rabbi Aharon Tzarfati, and the author of this book.
