Ma'amar P'sil Techeiles. Ayin Techeiles.First Editions. Warsaw 1888-1891
Lot of two seforim on Techeiles, by R. Gershon Chanoch Henoch Leiner, the Rebbe of Radzin, known as the Ba’al Ha’Tcheiles.
In 1883, the Radziner Rebbe R. Gershon travelled to Italy to observe the cuttlefish dyeing industry and acquired the knowledge required to produce a bluish dye from cuttlefish. This led to his original and innovative conclusion that he had rediscovered the long lost Techeiles. In these seforim the Rebbe explains his position from a Torah perspective as well as a scientific background.
Halter press. 89; 155 pages. 20 cm. Fine condition. Antique bindings.
