Mesilas Yesharim. Zhitomir 1860. Magnificent Copy! Extremely Rare!
Extremely rare edition of the classic Sefer Mussar by R. Moshe Chaim Luzzato, published by the famed Schapiro brothers. Includes Derech Eitz HaChaim.
The Mesilas Yesharim is perhaps the most popular Sefer Mussar ever published. First printed in Amsterdam in 1740 it was reprinted countless times. It was particularly favored by many of the great Tzadikim.
As is well known, Seforim printed by the Schapira family press were exceptionally favored by many of the great Chassidic Rebbes and in turn by their followers.
Vinograd Zhitomir 258. Schapira press. 130 pages. 12.5 cm. Excellent condition. Restoration to final page slightly affecting text. Modern binding.
Opening bid $500
