Extremely Rare, Not in Libraries: Siddur Safah Berurah Ari Version - Vilna, 1903
Siddur Safah Berurah Ari Version, with prayers for all year round, printed by Yitzchak Pirozshnikov - Vilna, 1903. 144 leaves. In this copy, leaves 409 were switched with leaves from another Siddur for completion (it seems that the version of the prayer is complete). The title page and leaf of indices are the original ones. Stains, especially wine stains on the Kiddush. Some moth damage and tears. Detached leaves. Has not been examined on a leaf-by-leaf basis. No binding. Good overall condition.
Siddur with the Ari version is extremely rare - does not appear in libraries and is not in the National Library of Jerusalem or the library of Chabad Lubavitch - the Rebbe's library in New York. The bibliography of the Hebrew book states "we have seen a photocopy of the title page only" of a copy of the National Library of Helsinki. This edition is the earliest one titled Safah Berurah in all bibliographic listings.
