Rabbi Yosef Cohen Tzedek was born in Lvov and recognized as a child prodigy. As an adult, he immigrated to London. There he served as a preacher, composed many articles, and dealt extensively with the study of recent Jewish history. He bound the book before us, taking a selection here and there from his works, as a wedding present.

Bound in the original binding with gilt imprint of the names of the books on the spine, very fine condition.
