Yesod V'Shoresh HaAvodah. Nowy Dwór, 1782. Rare First Edition
Yesod V'Shoresh HaAvodah - kabbalistic mussar work which guides a person in his daily life, his prayers, commandments between man and G-d and between man and his fellow; by Rabbi Alexander Ziskind of Grodno. First edition. Very rare book, highly sought after. Incomplete copy.
The book Yesod V'Shoresh HaAvodah made a huge impression when it was published and still enjoys great popularity to this day; it is considered a foundational book in Divine service. This book is accepted in all circles and the Chassidim refer to its author as "the Chassid from Grodno." It even merited an approbation from Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev. The book was since printed in many editions, but this first edition before us was the only one printed in the author's lifetime.
For a biography of Rabbi Alexander Ziskind of Grodno, refer to the Hebrew catalog text.
The complete book contains 134 leaves. The copy before us lacks 6 leaves: the title page, 4 leaves at the beginning of the book, and one leaf before the last.
Specifications of this copy: leaf of approbations, 7-132, 134 leaves. 21 cm. Stefansky, Sifrei Yesod 477.
Moderate-fine condition. Owner's signature and stamps. Aging stains. Worming perforations. Professional restoration. The first and last leaves are detached. New binding.
