Questions on the basics of Jewish faith for Israeli children as they reach Bar Mitzvah - a rare Essay. Venice 1827
Professione di fede con domande e risposte ad uso della Gioventù Israelitica - "The Profession of Faith", with questions and answers for the children of Israel. Published by Joab Fano. Printed by Giuseppe Molinari. A rare essay by Joab Fano to teach the children of Israel when they reach the age of Bar Mitzvah the basics of the Jewish faith. Venice, 1827 - Only Edition. Italian and Hebrew page to page.
In the introduction, the author writes that he has written a short composition for the children of Israel who, when they reach the age of Mitzvahs, as they come to synagogue will sit before the rabbi for a "fundamental test", and he will ask them in the order of the questions presented here, which are built on the Rambam's Thirteen Principles of Jewish Faith, and the basic fundamentals of the Jewish religion - belief in one G-d, Moses his prophet, and in all that is written in the Holy Scriptures, observance of the 613 Mitzvot, belief in the resurrection of the dead, and the Olam HaBa. The book is written in easy language to be understandable for children. It is rare to find such Hebrew works in the 19th century.
The title page contains an illustration of Jerusalem and the site of the Temple, based on engravings that appeared in 17th-century travel books. At the end of the book is a certificate for a student who has completed the study of the principles of the Jewish religion (the student's details have been added in handwriting), hand signed by Rabbi Foa.
Extremely Rare. Only three entries in the World Cat library catalog.
29, [2] p, 18 cm. Stains. Minor tears on the page before the title page. No outer jacket. Good Condition. Former library copy.
