Kol Nehi, eulogy of the Vilna Gaon, in a homiletic poetic lamentation [vowelized]. By Rabbi Tuvia (Tobias) Guttman (Feder). Warsaw, 1798.
"Upon the death of the humble pious man… a true Torah genius… R' Eliyahu of Vilna".
The Vilna Gaon died on Succot, 1798. Only two or three of the hundreds of eulogies delivered throughout Jewish communities around the world after his death were printed (see Otzar Sifei HaGra, p. 225). These books are rare.
9, [4] leaves. 15.5 cm. Good-fair condition. Worming. Old half-leather binding with worming.
Vinograd, Otzar Sifrei HaGra, no. 1295.
