Tractate Eruvin of Babylonian Talmud, Slavita, 1836, published in Rabbi Shmuel Avraham Abba Shapira's publishing house.
Two title pages, including additional cover-page, reading "Volume Three of Slavita Talmud".
This edition of the Shas, published in Slavita, was printed during the period of the dispute with Vilna publishers – a dispute which shook the Jewish world at the time. Letters from rabbis from that period are printed at the beginning of this volume.
Only tractates Brachot, Shabbat and Eruvin were printed in this edition.
Signatures, ink-stamps and inscription before title-page, signed "Reuven ben Eliezer"; also at the end of the volume.
[3], 132; 18 leaves, 39.5 cm. Good condition. Bound with the original paper cover in a leather binding (original with new spine). Some of the leaves are bluish. There are moth holes through all the leaves and the binding, mostly not damaging text. Moisture stain on bottom left corner and foxing.
