8 Ramban St. Jerusalem
In the present catalogue, a distinct chapter is dedicated to the Dayan family, featuring personal letters, photographs, books and documents from the estate of Ruth Dayan; together, this miniature collection recounts the story of the Dayan-Schwartz family over three generation, from Moshe's father Shmuel Dayan to Ruth's and Moshe's children. Included in this collection are a number of letters written by the famous of all Dayans – Moshe Dayan, and a variety of letters and other items sent or presented to family members, such as pictures dedicated to Moshe Dayan by Nobel peace prize laureate Albert Schweitzer, a micrography by Abraham Haba and a letter of appreciation to Moshe Dayan by Yigael Yadin, who served as IDF chief of staff during the 1948 War.
The art chapter features a number of Old Master works – including a forest view by Allaert van Everdingen and "Ruins of the Brederode Castle" attributed to Jacob Isaackszoon van Ruisdael – as well as works of Israeli and Judaic art from the collection of art historian Uzi Agassi.
the catalogue also includes an extensive chapter dedicated to numismatics, with an abundance of scrips and coupons, some used by Jewish Palestinian communities in times of distress and need (World War I, the 1948 siege on Jerusalem), some issued by small businesses throughout Palestine – bakeries, groceries and various stores, many of which had gone out of business soon afterwards. The chapter also includes various coins and banknotes: Ottoman, mandatory, and Israeli banknotes and coins, and two silver amuletic medals struck in honor of the formation of the Mandatory government and the appointment of High Commissioner Herbert Samuel.
The catalogue further features a variety of choice items representing the history of Palestine and Zionism – rare books (such as Sh.Y. Agnon's first book published in Palestine and "Tsveyuntsvantsik" by Ka-Tsetnik), letters and manuscripts (by Leah Goldberg, Shaul Tchernichovsky, Uri Tzvi Grinberg and Agnon), publications and ephemera from central events in the history of Zionism (the Katowice conference protocol, autograph postcards by Leo Motzkin), travelogues and scholarly works, Bezalel art, rugs, photographs and more.

The Franciscan Printing Press, Jerusalem – Publications Catalogue, 1910
Catalogo Gerusalemme 1910. Published by Tipografia dei PP. Francescani, [Jerusalem, 1910]. Italian, Arabic, French, and additional languages.
Publications catalogue of the Franciscan printing press in Jerusalem, listing over a hundred titles of documents published prior to the First World War: sacred texts, travel guides for pilgrims, literature relating to Palestine, Arabic-language textbooks, and more. Roughly half the catalogue is devoted to Arabic-language texts, and the remainder to works in Italian, Latin, French, Turkish, and other languages.
The Franciscan printing press, located in the San Salvador monastery in the Old City of Jerusalem, established in 1847 with the support of the Archbishop of Vienna, is thought to be one of the earliest printing houses in Jerusalem. The machines and printing blocks were specially imported from Vienna, and monks of the Order of St. Francis in Jerusalem were sent to Austria to learn the art of printing. The printing house was renowned for its contribution to the cause of promoting literacy in Jerusalem, thanks in no small measure to the hundreds of Arabic books printed there throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.
