Description

Additional and divisional titles.

summary

A literary forger and sometime scholar, this was Friedlander’s most audacious publication based on the fictitious discovery of a “13th century Spanish” manuscript containing the long-lost Jerusalem Talmud on the Order of Kodashim. Although initially greeted with great enthusiasm, doubts soon arose as to the authenticity of the work.
Some leaves loose, browned. Contemporary boards, detached. Folio.
