summary

THE AMSCHEL MAYER ROTHSCHILD SET OF CHUMASHIM. Amschel Mayer Rothschild (1773-1855) led the Frankfurt branch of the famed family of bankers. Born in Kassel, where his father, Mayer Amschel, founded the business, Amschel Mayer remained a pious man, indeed he was the primary financial backer of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch’s groundbreaking breakaway Orthodox community.

Later uniform roan-backed marbled boards, gently rubbed. 8vo
