summary

Salo Cohn formed this collection from the former libraries of Solomon Joachim Halberstam (one of the founders of the Mekitze Nirdamim Society) and Nachum Be’er Friedmann of Sadigor. These collections were housed as part of the Vienese Israelitische Kultusgemeinde Bibliothek- of which Wachstein was director. Under his leadership the library grew to become one of the richest Judaica collections throughout Europe. It was destroyed following the Nazi Anschluss in 1938.

Vol. I: pp. xviii, 215. * Vol. II: pp. xiii, 178. Contemporary marbled boards. Lg. 4to
