Binding of the Tanach From Which the Gaon of Vilna Studied
Part of the binding of the Tanach from which the Gaon of Vilna studied.
Front board of a book; an old handwritten piece of paper pasted to it reads: " Tanach which our master, the rabbi of the entire Jewish people, the Chassid, the Gaon of Vilna studied from".
Ownership inscription on the verso of the board, on the pastedown: "R. Yaakov Moshe grandson of the Gaon". This Tanach (or the binding alone) was presumably passed down from the Gaon of Vilna to his grandson R. Yaakov Moshe of Slonim (son of R. Avraham son of the Gaon of Vilna; a tremendous Torah scholar and a prominent descendant of the Gaon of Vilna who was very involved in editing and publishing the writings of the Gaon).
Front board, approx. 20 cm. Leather-covered wood, with part of a decorated metal clasp. Fair condition. Worming and wear.
The binding was displayed at the exhibition marking the 200th anniversary of the passing of the Gaon of Vilna in Beit Hatfutsot, Tel Aviv, Winter 1998. See exhibition catalogue, The Gaon of Vilna: The Man and His Legacy, p. 84.
Provenance: The Yeshayahu Vinograd Collection, Jerusalem.
