Three Rare First Edition " Levush" Rabbi Mordechai Yoffe, Lublin 1595
Three of the ten treatises from the
sefer Levush authored by Rabbi Mordechai Yoffe. The treatises are named for the
pasuk in Megillas Esther,
"And Mordechai left the king’s presence clad in royal apparel of turquoise and white..."
These three treatises were each published in Lublin in 1595 and are of extraordinary importance. They are:
1.
Levush Ohr Yekaros: an important
sefer on various matters of Kabbalah, including explanations on
sefer Recanati on Torah.
[2] 195 leaves | 31 cm | Extremely rare | Lublin 1595

Levush Eder Hayakar – Explanations on Hilchos Kodesh Hachadash of the Rambam regarding astronomy and the calendar, accompanied by many explanatory illustrations . This present copy is also accompanied by the rare supplement on Cosmology and Astronomy.
30, 5 leaves | Lublin 1595
3.
Levush Pinas Yikros: Explanation on the Rambam’s Moreh Nevuchim (The Guide for the Perplexed).
