Yalkut Chadash - Radvil, 1814-1818 / Sefer Nisyonot Avraham - Vilna, 1821
Two books printed in Russia-Poland, early 19th century:  • Sefer Yalkut Chadash, a compilation of Midrashim, Zohar and kabbalistic works (arranged according to subject in alphabetical order) by R. Yisrael son of R. Binyamin of Bełżyce. Radvil (Radyvyliv), [1814-1818]. Published by R. Yosef Yoska of Volochysk, with the approbation of his father, R. Mordechai of Kremenitz (1746-1820, son of R. Yechiel Michel, the Maggid of Zlotchov). The final leaf contains an interesting essay regarding the serious errors found in the Jewish calendars commonly printed in siddurim and chumashim. It is interesting to note that two years later, in 1820, the siddur "Tefilla Yeshara" was printed in Radvil. It was among the first Chassidic siddurim, and became known as "the Radvil siddur". The siddur was meticulously edited, proofread and brought to print by R. Mordechai of Kremenitz, under the supervision of Rebbe Avraham Yehoshua Heschel of Apta, the Ohev Yisrael. • Bound with: Sefer Nisyonot Avraham, a commentary on the grammatical aspects of Rashi's commentary on the Prophets and the Talmud, by R. Avraham Luria of Shad (Seda, Lithuania). Vilna, [1821]. Deleted ownership inscriptions on first leaves. [1], 146; [2], 44 [i.e. 34] leaves. Mispagination. 21 cm. Good condition.
