Tanach, Pocket Size Edition Complete in 1 Volume. London 1838.

A complete copy of the London Hebrew Bible printed in 1838. It is well known that this edition and other similar to it was printed by Christian Missionary groups in order to gain popularity. During this time they were used and accepted by most due to a lack of alternative, since printing a complete Tanach was very costly. R. Shmuel Greineman used to relate how the Chafetz Chaim expressed his displeasure regarding this situation. 

 In excellent condition. Original leather binding.

[1], 241, [2], 273 pp.
