summary

THE FIRST TEHILLIM PRINTED IN ZHITOMIR. Books printed by the Shapira press are especially sought after by Chassidim as the printers were descendents of R. Pinchos of Koretz. It is felt that an aura of holiness pervades those books produced by members of this printing family.

ff. 166, 28. Title page laid down, edge of left border supplied by hand, closely trimmed, well thumbed. Modern calf. 8vo.
