Manuscript - Kol Shachal – Poems by Efraim Luzzatto
Manuscript, Kol Shachal, poems by the Italian poet Efraim Luzzatto. [Europe, second half of 19th century].
Handsome copy in Ashkenazi handwriting of poems by Efraim Luzzatto, printed by Yitzchak (Isaac) Satanow in Berlin 1790. Satanow who was known as a plagiarist, began printing these poems in the name of the Ramchal but while in the process of printing, changed his mind and wrote the original author's name on the title page. Moreover, Satanow changed and added words to the poems at his whim.
The manuscript contains the wording of the title page, stating a false place of printing (Istanbul). At the beginning of this edition is a poem by the Ramchal which is actually also Satanow's falsification. In an "apology by the proofreader" on the last page, the poems in the compilation are still attributed to the Ramchal.
Copier's colophon at the end of the manuscript: "The young man Chaim Yehuda Leib ben Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Katzenelnbogen Vilna".
Stamps (Cyrillic letters) of "Yeshaya Dukor Lida".
[68] pages. 17 cm. Good condition. Spotting. Inscriptions. Contemporary binding, worn.
For additional information about Yitzchak Satanow see item 404.
