Tzuk HaItim. Salonika, 1652. Especially Rare.
The fundamental book that describes the Chmielnicki Massacres as seen by the author. Remembrance of the troubles ... that came upon us ... in the years 1648 and 1649 [ת"ח ות"ט] by Rabbi Meir Ish Shebrashin. [Salonika] Avraham Ger Tzeddek Press. Incomplete copy.
On the title page: "So that it will never be forgotten until the final generation, one unique person arose in his city and aroused his lament over thousands of casualties ..."
The book was printed only three years after the pogroms. The first edition was printed in Krakow in 1650, but it cannot be found, and in the edition before it, the proofreader added from what he saw.
The printer Avraham Ger Tzeddek printed only a very few books in Salonika.
This copy includes seven leaves. The last three leaves are lacking. 20 cm. Especially rare.
Fine condition. Tiny tears. New binding.
