Sefer Tehillim. Zhitomir, 1858. Printed in Sanctity on its Own. Rare Edition
Sefer Tehillim im Ma'amadot with Metzudat David and Metzudat Tziyon. Zhitomir, Shapira Brothers Press - Rabbi Chanina Lipa and Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel Shapira, 1858. Lacking several leaves in the ma'amadot at the end of the sefer.
As is known, sifrei kodesh printed at the Shapira family's press, especially Tehillim and siddurim, were preferred among leading Admo"rim and their followers (especially Skver) and over the generations, many chose to recite Tehillim specifically from the Zhitomir edition.
This Sefer Tehillim was not printed as part of a Na"ch; the leaves of the Tehillim are complete.
4, 288, 32 pages. 19 cm.
Moderate-fine condition. Many aging and usage stains. Light tears without lack. Leaves 13, and 115 are torn with lack in the text of the Tehillim.
Several individual leaves are torn with lack in the text of the Metzudot. Several titles are cropped. Magnificent new leather binding.
