Tana D’vei Eliyahu. Lublin, 1907. Notation by the Admor of Tolna.
190 pages. 22 cm.
This edition is not listed by the Bibliography of the Hebrew Book and is not in the National Library. The endpaper bears a handwritten notation from the Admor Yochanan of Tolna: [in Hebrew] “I bought this book …in honor…Yochanan…” With two stamps: “Yochanan Twersky of Tolna shlit”a in Jerusalem,” in Hebrew and English.
Admor Yochanan of Tolna (1906-1999) immigrated to Eretz Yisrael in 1955. He had a special love for the Tana D’vei Eliyahu, and his grandson, the present Admor of Tolna, studies this work with everyone present at his weekly Melave Malka meal following Shabbat.
Blemished endpaper, but the Admor’s signature is very clear. Broken, detached binding. Brittle paper. Aging stains. The book is in fine-moderate condition.
